    Citation
    TRADITION (ASIA) LTD v. LEE CHEUK SHUN
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA43/2007

    The court found the plaintiff's factual account of the alleged representation unreliable and rejected the misrepresentation claim; Clause 14.1 of the Employment Agreement precluded incorporation or reliance on alleged pre‑contractual terms or collateral agreements; the plaintiff had wrongfully terminated a two‑year fixed term but no consequential loss was proven, so only nominal damages (HK$100) were awarded on the defendant's counterclaim; plaintiff's primary and alternative claims were dismissed and a costs order nisi was made in favour of the defendant for defending the action.
