Lawsuit for doctors' holiday work compensation

In 2006, Dr. Leung, on behalf of 165 public hospital doctors, sued the Hospital Authority to compensate for their work on rest days, statutory holidays / public holidays and overtime work. The Court of First Instance ruled the doctors can be compensated for loss of rest days and statutory holidays / public holidays, but dismissed their overtime claim. The Hospital Authority then offered a one-time compensation of HK$600 million to the 4,000 doctors affected.
