It often happens that the insurance companies delay giving money in cases of accidents at the workplace. Now, the Supreme Court has decided that the insurance companies need to pay interest for the time that passes from the accident until the payment is made. This will make it expensive for them to drag out the cases.
- The case has been brought in front of the Supreme Court by the HK trade union.
- All the previous cases in which a long time has passed from accident to payment will be reopened, so that the insurance companies can pay the proper interest rate to the victims.
