Managers fined for illegal club operations
******************************************
The courts heard that in August last year, officers from the Office of the Licensing Authority (OLA) of the Home Affairs Department conducted inspections at a club on Prat Avenue in Tsim Sha Tsui which had been operating with certificates of compliance (CoCs). The staff failed to show the registered drawings upon the OLA officers' request. Condition 17 of the CoC was breached.
The man and woman being the manager and the CoC holder of the club respectively, were charged with contravening section 21(1)(a) or 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.
