高等法院首席法官張舉能判詞主要部份係第116段:
In my view, the exclusion of foreign domestic helpers under section 2(4)(a)(vi) does not encroach upon the central characteristic of the term “ordinarily resident”. It is a category of exclusion not different in kind, but only in degree, from the pre‑existing categories of excluded persons, for instance, Vietnamese refugees and imprisoned or detained persons. Regardless of her own subjective intention or purposes, a foreign domestic helper’s stay in Hong Kong is for a very special, limited purpose from society’s point of view – to meet society’s acute demand for domestic helpers which cannot be satisfactorily met by the local labour market. Hence, their stays in Hong Kong are highly regulated so as to ensure that they are here to fulfil the special, limited purpose for which they have been allowed to come here in the first place, and no more.
