Government lawyers argued in their appeal that the September ruling was wrong
because it placed limits on lawmakers’ ability to decide who is eligible to
permanently settle in Hong Kong.
The judges in the High Court’s Court of Appeal agreed with the government’s
arguments.
“A foreign domestic helper’s stay in Hong Kong is for a very special,
limited purpose,” which is to do a job that cannot be filled by local
workers, High Court Chief Justice Andrew Cheung said in the panel’s written
ruling.
“Hence, their stays in Hong Kong are highly regulated so as to ensure
that they are here to fulfil the special, limited purpose for which they
have been allowed to come here in the first place, and no more.”
Mark Daly, a member of Vallejos’ legal team, said he wasn’t surprised by the
ruling and it was “highly likely” that they will take the case to
the Court of Final Appeal.
“The law shouldn’t be interpreted to effectively create second-class
citizens,” Daly said. “We’ll continue to fight for justice until
the end.”
By the end of 2010, 117,000 foreign maids had been in Hong Kong for more than
seven years, the September ruling said, citing government figures.
Many middle-class families in Hong Kong employ maids to do household chores
and look after children for a minimum wage of about $450 a month and room
and board.
