In February 2009, it was reported that former 'star teacher' and business partner Karson Oten Fan Karno, better known as "K. Oten", was in dispute with KGEC following his departure from the company to work for Modern Education. His employer terminated his contract in April 2006 when they discovered several breaches of contract. [2] KGEC claimed damages of HK$10 million citing breach of contract, including collection of personal data from students, and taking up employment with a rival establishment within one year of his termination. Fan retorted that the contract expired in 2005 and that any subsequent contract was forged. Fan claims HK$2.65 million in unpaid profit share. [3] On 15 July 2009, Fan was found guilty of breaching his employment contract, and his former employers were awarded damages in the sum of HK$8.87 million. The judge, who found the defence's student witnesses unreliable, disapproved of Oten's vulgar notes and use of trendy slang. Oten was ordered to pay half the defendants' legal costs. [2] Later, Oten appealed to the court, but the court refused his appeal. Consequently, Oten was ordered to pay compensation to KGEC.
