Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCPI298/2015

The application for specific discovery was dismissed because the plaintiff failed to demonstrate a belief (by adequate affidavit evidence) that the defendants possessed the specified documents and failed to show that the documents were relevant and necessary for fairly disposing of the claim or for saving costs; defendants' affidavits and supplemental disclosures were sufficient and the remaining requests were disproportionate or irrelevant.

YEUNG MAN TSAN v. FAMOUS DRAGON ENGINEERING LTD AND OTHERS

Citation

YEUNG MAN TSAN v. FAMOUS DRAGON ENGINEERING LTD AND OTHERS
Court

District Court
Case number

DCEC595/2003

Court found on balance that Ms Ng, who conducted recruitment and made statutory admissions in Form 2s and a declaration, acted with subjective intention to employ the Applicant for R1 and that R1 held an insurance policy covering such workers; therefore R1 was employer. Independently, R3 was also employer by estoppel because R3’s recruitment poster and conduct clothed Ms Ng with apparent authority. Consequently R1 and R3 are jointly and severally liable; R2 (insurer) intervenor fails on liability issue and costs follow the event.
