A Hong Kong dancer is seeking compensation after being injured by a collapsing screen during a concert by Cantopop band Mirror, potentially amounting to over HK$3.5 million (US$450,390).
Mo Li Kai-yin, 30, filed the lawsuit in February under the Employees’ Compensation Ordinance due to being paralyzed from the neck down. If deemed permanently incapacitated, he could receive the substantial sum.
Li’s lawyer mentioned a potential personal injury lawsuit against Studiodanz, the company employing the dancers at the ill-fated concert in July 2022 at Hong Kong Coliseum.
The outcome of a fraud trial involving three project managers from the concert’s contractor will influence the extent of the pending claim.
