    SIN BIK YIN v. CARAT JEWELLERY LTD
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCLA49/2004

    The court found the dismissal was a summary dismissal for misconduct under section 9; the appellant reported for duty on 8 October and the medical certificate dated 8 October was obtained after dismissal and provided on 9 October, so the day could not be treated as a sick leave day and the continuity required for post-termination sickness allowance did not exist; accordingly claims for sick leave allowance from 9–18 October, extra wages, severance and terminal payments were dismissed.
