Our Michael Han acted for an injured construction worker who was involved in an accident. At the material time, he was coming down an uncompleted staircase of a condominium still under construction. The staircase did not have any handrail.
The worker fell from the staircase mid-way. He suffered from back and shoulder injuries. The main basis of the claim against the employer was the failure to construct handrail on one side of the staircase.
After a trial at the State Court, the claim against the employer was dismissed. The worker then appealed and the hearing came before the former Chief Justice Chan Sek Keong.
He reversed the lower court’s judgment and apportioned liability equally. The employer therefore bore 50% of liability.
