Hong Kong court awards HK$251,000 to family of helper sacked during cancer battle

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A Hong Kong court has awarded over HK$251,000 (US$32,000) to the family of Baby Jane Allas, a domestic helper who was dismissed in 2019 after being diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer. The court found her employer, Jamil Bushra, violated the Disability Discrimination Ordinance by unlawfully terminating her employment due to her illness. The dismissal caused Allas significant emotional distress and financial pressure, and she later returned to the Philippines, where she passed away in 2021 at the age of 40, leaving behind five children.
