Bilingual Common Law: Extracts From Employment Cases

The third volume of the eminent Bilingual Common Law Series features extracts from carefully selected judicial decisions on employment law and translations of these extracts. The decisions are authorities for salient principles of various aspects of employment law including: the nature and terms of contracts of employment; continuity of employment; breach and termination of contracts of employment (including constructive dismissal and summary dismissal); remuneration and claims for payments; and the jurisdiction, role and procedural aspects of the Labour Tribunal.

The Bilingual Common Law Series has been designed to facilitate the usage of case-law in an increasingly bilingual environment. The Employment law volume will save lawyersthe trouble of arranging time-consuming and expensive translations for submissions to Court. It will also help lawyers explain the law to clients.
 

Finally the volume is a valuable compendium on the unique employment law regime in Hong Kong, with the translations being accessible to a wide readership including in-house lawyers and human resource officers.
