The judge exercised the court's jurisdiction to amend the judgment because the failure to include pre-trial loss of earnings and MPF for 20 October 2016 to 14 January 2020 was a clear omission amounting to an error that could be corrected without reopening contested issues. The amendment corrects an essential part of the damages calculation using wage statistics (CSD data) consistent with the original judgment, results in revised pre-trial and post-trial loss figures and increases total damages to HK$1,503,677.13, and the amendment was permitted without disturbing the appeal process.
