The Court allowed the appeal and held the defendant liable for assaults and intimidatory acts committed by Yue Hoi's agents (Kwong and Chan) because they were acting as the defendant's representatives in the authorised class of acts (debt collection) and their wrongful conduct was a wrongful mode of carrying out that mandate despite the defendant's instructions to use lawful means; spraying of red paint (physical act) was excluded from liability; damages to be assessed and injunction conditional on renewed undertaking.
