Read the full judgment text of on BabelCite. was delivered on 26 August 1969.
1. Mr. Arculli, of counsel, in the first instance, took the point that my judgment herein was wrong in that the Employment Ordinance was a codifying enactment and that the common law was thereby ousted. However, in the course of his argument he said that, nonetheless, certain restrictive covenants could attach to a contract of service under the Employment Ordinance. In my judgment once that is admitted, that is the end of the argument that the Employment Ordinance is a codifying enactment.
