We are pleased to share our new article โ€œโ€™Hong Kong Court Reaffirms the Importance of Implied Terms in Employment Lawโ€ co-authored by our Partner, Simon Wong, and our Associate, Pui Yee Cheryl Lo.

In the recent case of Yang Zhizhong v Nomura International (Hong Kong) Limited [2024] HKCFI 2192, the Hong Kong Court revisited the implied duties in employment contracts under Hong Kong law, focusing on the Braganza, Malik, and Anti-Avoidance Duties.

The courtโ€™s decision reinforces the importance of the implied trust and confidence term in Hong Kong employment law, providing guidance on assessing breaches objectively. It highlights the significance of good faith actions by employers, particularly in highly regulated industries, offering valuable insights for both parties navigating complex employment relationships.
