    The court refused permission to appeal on the substantive grounds because the Labour Tribunal's findings that there was no contractual breach giving rise to the claimed future wages, no proven disciplinary stigma, and that the applicant failed to mitigate were fact‑based and not set aside on grounds of error of law. Permission to appeal was granted only on a narrow legal question whether the tribunal miscalculated the costs award by failing to use the respondent representative's 2020 daily rate, producing an overaward of HK$78.
