- DCCJ5938/2019
The judge accepted the documentary evidence (loan agreements, bank advices, receipts) and concluded Hok Wa failed to demonstrate a credible defence with a real prospect of success, including failing to rebut apparent or actual authority of Mr Wong; payments to workers under the Employment Ordinance are recoverable as a debt under s43F; accordingly the master’s order setting aside the default judgment was wrong and the default judgment was restored with the specified variation as to the EO sum and interest; costs ordered to follow the event.
