JADE PALACE RESTAURANT CENTRE LTD v. LEUNG YIU-MING AND OTHERS

Citation

JADE PALACE RESTAURANT CENTRE LTD v. LEUNG YIU-MING AND OTHERS
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCMP127/1985

Sections 32, 35 and 35A of the Labour Tribunal Ordinance must be construed so that references to appeals are read as "following an appeal heard by leave given under section 32"; consequently the Court of Appeal had no jurisdiction to grant the leave given on 27 July (that order was ultra vires) and the present application was struck out; estoppel per rem judicatam precluded the applicants from denying the prior conclusive construction in the same matter.
