The alleged oral agreement was not proved and contradicted documented terms; defendant breached the written employment contract by wilfully refusing to report and by operating NICADA without prior consent, justifying summary dismissal under s9(1) Employment Ordinance; however plaintiff failed to prove any loss or that confidential information or IP was misused or withheld, so relief is nominal damages to plaintiff while defendant is entitled to unpaid wages and annual leave shown to be owing.
