Peggy Leung Suk Fong v The Prudential Assurance Co Ltd
HK Court of First Instance, 30-Sep-2011
A former insurance agent claims that she was an employee and therefore entitled to certain benefits. The court upholds the decision that she was not. This is apparently the first time a HK court has ruled on this issue in detail. Following the principles therein, it may be possible for other industries to restructure the relationship with employees so that they become self-employed, risk-taking agents instead, avoiding the Government's increasing interference in private contracts via the Minimum Wage Ordinance and the Employment Ordinance.
