On the facts found by the Labour Tribunal (accepted by the Court), the appellant wilfully disobeyed a lawful and reasonable instruction from the acting General Manager; that conduct justified summary dismissal under s9 Employment Ordinance; the Chinese New Year Bonus was a contractual end-of-year payment and not part of monthly wages, and therefore not payable where dismissal was justified under s9; accordingly the appellant's claims were rightly dismissed.
