A third party who has bribed or paid a secret commission to an agent is liable to compensate the principal for any loss or damage resulting from the agent’s acceptance of the bribe or secret commission: Mahesan v Malaysia Government Officers’ Co-operative Housing Society Ltd [1979] AC 374, [1978] 2 All ER 405 (PC). Accepting secret commissions is a breach of an agent’s duty to the principal and the agent is liable to the principal for the amount: Aberdeen Railway Co v Blaikie Bros [1843-60] All ER Rep 249. Where the contractor has agreed to pay a commission to any agent of the employer in order to secure the acceptance of a tender, the employer may rescind the contract (Alexander v Webber [1922] 1 KB 642) and may sue the agent for any commission received and for damages (Powell and Thomas v Evan Jones & Co [1905] 1 KB 11 (CA)). Payment of a secret commission or offering an advantage with regard to the promotion, execution or procuring of a contract with a public body is an offence: Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (Cap201) s 5. Similarly the offering of an advantage regarding the withdrawal or refraining from making of a tender for a contract with a public body is also an offence: s 6.
