Manager and operator fined for illegal club operations
*******************************************************
The courts heard that in March this year, officers from the Office of the Licensing Authority (OLA) of the Home Affairs Department conducted an inspection at a club on Wyndham Street in Central which had been operating with a certificate of compliance (CoC).
During the investigation, the club's staff failed to show the registered drawing upon the OLA officers' request. Condition 10 of the CoC was breached.
The man and the company, being the manager of the club and the CoC holder of the club respectively, were charged with contravening section 21(1)(a) and section 21(2) of the Ordinance.
A spokesman for the department reminded all CoC holders to comply with the conditions as stipulated therein. Enforcement action will continue to be taken against illegal club operations.
