Tanner De Witt Employment Law Update - 9 July 2024 In the recent case of GUTING, JOAN SARMIENTO, DECEASED v CHOY CHIU YEE RITA [2024] HKDC 747, dealing with consolidated claims for discrimination, harassment and unlawful termination whilst on sick leave, the court ruling highlights the following: 1) It is lawful to terminate an employee even if they are ill, if there is no current sick leave certificate covering the actual date of termination, and; 2) it is not unlawful disability discrimination and disability harassment if the relevant acts (in this case, termination of employment) were motivated by reasons other than the disability. This case again highlights the importance of pre-existing evidence and of a “paper trail” showing the real reasons and motivations that predated the disability. If you have any enquiries regarding the legal issues mentioned above, feel free to contact Russell Bennett and Mark Chiu, or email us at webenquiry@tannerdewitt.com. #employmentlaw #discrimination #harasment #unlawfultermination

Tanner De Witt's Bowling night was a great success. Everyone attended had a blast competing on the bowling lanes while enjoying great food and drinks. Our team members showcased their skills (and some unexpected talent!) during the bowling competition. Strikes, spares, and even a few gutter balls—it was all part of the fun. The winning team, highest scorer and the one with most strikes all received exciting gifts. Thank you to everyone who participated and made the evening memorable! #TannerDeWitt #Teambuilding #Bowlingnight

PBHK and the Tanner De Witt team had recently provided pro bono legal assistance to a client regarding a medical insurance claim. We are truly grateful to our pro bono lawyers Troy Greig, Michelle Leung, and their team for achieving a successful resolution for our client! Thank you for your vital work and dedication to improving access to justice. Words from the client: "I am immensely grateful to Pro Bono HK for their invaluable assistance in resolving a challenging medical claims dispute that lasted over 9 months for me. This case brought on an overwhelming sense of helplessness as the medical insurer continuously rejected my appeals and pushed to claim a shortfall from me by unjustifiable means. All of my efforts to seek aid from relevant authorities were in vain until I was referred to Pro Bono HK. The team listened, assured me of the resources available, and connected me with a remarkable volunteer lawyer and trainee who dedicated countless hours to crafting a compelling argument on my behalf. The case against the medical insurer was resolved in less than 2 months' time and the outcome was more than I could ask for. Pro Bono HK and its lawyers' commitment to justice relieved me of the emotional turmoil this case inflicted. I am deeply appreciative of their unwavering support and efforts!" ***** 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐨 𝐇𝐊 Pro Bono Hong Kong is an independent Hong Kong-based non-profit organisation established in 2014. Our mission is to empower the impoverished, distressed, or vulnerable in our community to access justice so they can access opportunities on an equal footing - free from discrimination and unlawful, unfair, or unjust practices. We help ensure that everyone has equal protection of the law and that no one is denied the ability to exercise their legal rights under the law due to a lack of financial or other resources. As a charitable tax-exempt entity under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance, we rely solely on the generosity of ordinary donors and volunteers like you, without whom none of our work is possible.
