Hong Kong Case Law

Vicarious/transfer liability
  • 5 Mar 2026

    廖芷彤 對 太興環球發展有限公司

    Citation
    [2026] HKCA 360
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CAMP113/2024

    The court refused relief from sanction because the applicant failed to provide a reasonable explanation for non‑compliance with the unless order and for the nine‑day delay, failed to take responsibility for service address, had constructive knowledge of the court directions via file check, and because the proposed appeal had no real prospect of success (PRC laws inapplicable, employer negligence not established on foreseeability, and a late 'transfer' argument was properly excluded); accordingly the application was dismissed and costs awarded.
