Re German Swiss International School Association Ltd
HK Court of First Instance, 26-Jun-2020
The court rules that GSIS is a "club" under the Race Discrimination Ordinance, so parts of the Articles of Association which discriminate on the grounds of race are void. The articles required that candidates for directorship shall be fluent in written and spoken German and that the board meetings shall "as a rule" be conducted in German. Over 70% of students at the school are in the English-speaking stream. Justice Jonathan Harris also identifies numerous other problems with the corporate governance and articles.
