Aggressive Construction Company will remain on government’s registered list of contractors temporarily pending a hearing on its appeal

A Hong Kong construction company linked to five workplace deaths in three accidents will have a ban on its operating licence lifted following a temporary court order, even as two of the firm’s six contracts have been terminated.

The Development Bureau said on Wednesday that Aggressive Construction Company would remain on the government’s registered list of contractors on Friday after the Court of First Instance allowed the firm to apply for a stay of execution on the decision.

It said project owners could monitor Aggressive’s performance at sites operated by the company if there were still construction activities.

Authorities had already terminated its contract for the Chai Wan Government Complex public works project on Sunday after assessing that the firm’s performance was “far below the contractual requirements”.
