Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAP19/2011

Under O62 r.35A the review is limited to errors of principle or failure to consider relevant/irrelevant matters; the judge found no such error by Master M Wong and concluded the plaintiff's allegations of misconduct did not bear on the correctness of the taxation, therefore the appeal was dismissed and the taxing master's discretion was not interfered with.

OR LOY YAU AND OTHERS v. LAU HING WAN t/a YAT SHING CONSTRUCTION CO
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCLA59/1983

The High Court dismissed the appeal because the Presiding Officer's central finding—that the employer granted permission for extended Chinese New Year leave and thus dismissed the respondents wrongfully—was supported by evidence and permissible inferences; inconsistencies in dates and witness statements did not render the tribunal's factual conclusions so unsupported as to warrant reversal under the Labour Tribunal Ordinance.
