- HCA3972/2000
Defendant held liable: Tsang had actual and/or ostensible authority and was so closely connected with his employment that it was fair and just to impose vicarious liability; alternatively defendant breached supervisory duty (negligence) and breached contract; plaintiff entitled to recover sums paid to Tsang (judgment HK$660,000) but major commercial loss claims, travel expenses, wasted third-party legal fees and claim for mental distress by the company were dismissed for lack of causation, remoteness or recoverability.
