Woman fined for illegal club operation
**************************************

     A woman was fined $3,000 at the Eastern Magistrates' Courts today (March 19) for contravening the Clubs (Safety of Premises) Ordinance (the Ordinance).

     The courts heard that in August last year, the Office of the Licensing Authority (OLA) of Home Affairs Department conducted an inspection at a club on Leighton Road, Causeway Bay, which had been operating with a certificate of compliance (CoC). During the investigation, OLA officers found that the club's actual layout  deviated from the registered drawings. Condition 3 of the CoC was breached.

     The woman, being the CoC holder, was charged with contravening section 21(2) of the Ordinance.

     A spokesman for the department reminded all the CoC holders to comply with the conditions as stipulated therein. Enforcement action would continue to be taken against illegal club operations.
