Hong Kong Court Assigns 30% Liability to Travel Agency for Hiker Injury

CNR Voice of China Hong Kong 15d15d Impact 6

A travel agency has been found 30% liable for an accident during an outdoor hiking activity. Judges are reminding participants of outdoor activities to maintain safe evacuation procedures and continuous contact until their safety is confirmed. A judge ruled the agency bears 30% responsibility due to insufficient risk prevention and failure to research terrain risks during rain. The judge noted the agency failed to implement adequate risk prevention measures and lacked deep understanding of the terrain. The agency arranged hiking activities on undeveloped mountain paths during rainy conditions, which significantly increased danger. The court said that agencies must establish effective contact mechanisms and ensure the safety of participants who withdraw mid-activity.

The agency failed to provide adequate management and rescue services after the hiker became unwell and attempted to return alone. Judges said that liability waivers for personal injury are invalid under Civil Code Article 506.
