The President of the Court of Final Appeal of Macau said Friday that in the past judicial year, there were a total of 182 cases of minor labor violations before the lower courts, of which one-third were related to former junket operator Suncity Group.
Suncity closed all of its Macau VIP rooms in December 2021 following the arrest of its CEO, Alvin Chau. In the wake of these closures, the Macao Court of First Appeal received a large number of complaints relating to the recovery of salaries by Suncity employees.
Speaking at the official Opening Ceremony of the Judicial Year, President of the Macao Court of Final Appeal, Sam Hou Fai, said the number of labor misdemeanor cases received in the 2022/23 judicial year had grown by 133% over the prior year period.
