Is a liquidator an \u201c<em>officer or servant<\/em>\u201d of a company in liquidation and can they therefore appear in Labour Tribunal proceedings?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In any voluntary liquidation (unlike compulsory liquidations), there would be no automatic stay imposed on Labour Tribunal proceedings commenced by an employee (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegislation.gov.hk\/hk\/cap32?xpid=ID_1438402995384_002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">section 186 of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32)<\/a> does not apply to voluntary liquidations). Liquidators would therefore be drawn into Labour Tribunal proceedings without the employee first having to obtain leave from the High Court. In many cases, liquidators will be assisted by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegislation.gov.hk\/hk\/cap25?xpid=ID_1438402890271_001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">section 8A of the Labour Tribunal Ordinance (Cap. 25)<\/a> (\u201c<strong>LTO<\/strong>\u201d).\u00a0 This section provides that the Labour Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to hear any claim brought by way of a winding-up petition or any claim submitted to proof in winding-up proceedings.\u00a0 If the employee had submitted a proof in the liquidation, the Labour Tribunal will no longer have jurisdiction to hear the employee\u2019s dispute.\u00a0 This is consistent with the premise that a liquidator should deal with claims against the company being wound up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, what if the employee did not file a proof of debt in the liquidation (perhaps in error or in the belief he\/she has a practical advantage in the Labour Tribunal)? How can a company in voluntary liquidation be represented in those Labour Tribunal proceedings?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pursuant to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegislation.gov.hk\/hk\/cap25?xpid=ID_1438402890521_001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">section 23 of the LTO<\/a>, only an \u201c<em>officer or servant<\/em>\u201d of a company has a right of audience in the Labour Tribunal.\u00a0 There is no reference to a liquidator of a company having right of audience. In this regard, it is trite that a liquidator acts as agent of a company in liquidation when commencing or defending legal actions in the company\u2019s name.\u00a0 Remember also that legal representation is not allowed and thus a liquidator could not instruct solicitors to attend.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is some English authority which suggests that the Courts can \u201c<em>in appropriate circumstances\u201d<\/em> declare that a liquidator is an officer of the company.\u00a0 On that basis, it would be arguable that the Labour Tribunal should construe section 23 of the LTO to consider a liquidator as an \u201c<em>officer<\/em>\u201d of a company in liquidation for the purposes of Labour Tribunal proceedings.\u00a0 However, it is doubtful that those English authorities could be readily applied in Hong Kong. These authorities declared liquidators as \u201cofficers\u201d only for the purposes of specific sections in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/2006\/46\/contents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UK\u2019s Companies Act 2006<\/a>. Similarly in Hong Kong, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegislation.gov.hk\/hk\/cap622\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622)<\/a> provides that a liquidator may be regarded as an officer for specific purposes (for example in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elegislation.gov.hk\/hk\/cap622?xpid=ID_1438403547123_002\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">section 622<\/a>). The fact the legislation appears to limit liquidators being regarded as officers to those specific situations supports the view that a liquidator would not otherwise be considered as an officer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From a first glance at one Hong Kong authority, it would appear help is at hand. The case of <a href=\"http:\/\/legalref.judiciary.hk\/lrs\/common\/search\/search_result_detail_frame.jsp?DIS=36413&amp;QS=%28%7Blam+gook%7D+%25parties%29&amp;TP=JU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><u>Ho Lan Fong v Lam Gook<\/u><\/em><\/a> held that the categories of person who have a right of audience before the Labour Tribunal are not exhaustive and the Labour Tribunal has inherent jurisdiction to regulate who can have a right of audience.\u00a0 Given this, it would seem that the Labour Tribunal could exercise its inherent jurisdiction and discretion to grant a right of audience to liquidators generally.\u00a0 However, the position is not clear given a contrasting decision: in the case of <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/legalref.judiciary.hk\/lrs\/common\/search\/search_result_detail_frame.jsp?DIS=39970&amp;QS=%2B&amp;TP=JU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Tsui Chung Fai v Kwok\u2019s Fashion Limited<\/em><\/a><\/span>, Lam J (as he then was) relied on the Court of Appeal\u2019s decision in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/legalref.judiciary.hk\/lrs\/common\/search\/search_result_detail_frame.jsp?DIS=20813&amp;QS=%2B&amp;TP=JU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Kone Elevator v Senfield Ltd<\/em><\/a><\/span> and ruled differently. Lam J ruled that \u201c<em>the common law power to grant leave to someone other than those provided for in the subsection to represent a corporate litigant in the [Labour Tribunal] <strong><u>was arguably abrogated<\/u><\/strong><\/em>\u201d, thus effectively stripping the Labour Tribunal\u2019s jurisdiction grant liquidators a right of audience.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is a clear lacuna in section 23 of the LTO in that there is no direct provision dealing with who can appear on behalf of a company in voluntary liquidation in respect of a claim where no Proof of Debt has been submitted.\u00a0 We understand that it is common practice for the liquidators to appear at the Labour Tribunal on behalf of a company in these circumstances.\u00a0 However, there is no clear legal basis to resist any opposition to a liquidator appearing.\u00a0 Liquidators could consider relying on the Labour Tribunal\u2019s powers and active duty to investigate relevant matters and its powers to examine witnesses on oath or otherwise as a mechanism to make submissions on behalf of a company in voluntary liquidation.\u00a0 Overall, section 23 of the LTO should be amended to specifically include liquidators of a company in liquidation where the claim is not stayed and remains in the jurisdiction of the Labour Tribunal.\u00a0 This would ensure that the company could be properly represented to safeguard the interest of its creditors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><em><strong>Robin Darton \/ Tim Au<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The above is not intended to be relied on as legal advice and specific legal advice should be sought at all times in relation to the above.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Tanner De Witt is the only law firm in Hong Kong that is ranked in the top tier for both employment and restructuring\/insolvency in both Legal 500 and Chambers and Partners.
