The judge accepted the independent documentary and witness evidence of the site records and found on the balance of probabilities that the Applicant was not working for nor employed by the Respondent at the Shan Ha Tsuen site on 24 April 2002; accordingly the application for compensation under the Employees Compensation Ordinance was dismissed. The decisive reasoning was the absence of records and credible independent witness evidence contradicting the Applicant's account.
