    WAH KWONG CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL v. WONG MAN YIP
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMP3417/1993

    The court construed s.25(1)(b) as wide enough to permit the employer to recover from the tortfeasor the employee's costs of the District Court compensation proceedings paid by the employer, but not the employer's own costs of those proceedings; additionally the High Court has jurisdiction to hear the statutory indemnity claim under s.25.
