FEHD cancels licence of light refreshment restaurant in Jordan
**************************************************************
The restaurant is located at Flat D on the ground floor at 89 Shanghai Street, Jordan.
"In April and June this year, two convictions for extending the business area illegally were recorded against the restaurant. A total fine of $13,100 was levied by the court and 30 demerit points were registered against the licensee under the department's demerit points system. The contraventions resulted in the cancellation of the licence," a spokesman for the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department (FEHD) said.
The licensee of the food premises had a record of four convictions for extending the business area illegally and storing utensils in an open space between October 2017 and September last year. A total fine of $24,000 was levied and 45 demerit points were registered. The breaches led to licence suspensions for seven days in August last year and 14 days between December last year and January this year respectively.
The spokesman reminded licensees of food premises to comply with the FBR or their licences could be suspended or cancelled.
Licensed food premises are required to exhibit a sign, at a conspicuous place near the main entrance, indicating that the premises have been licensed. A list of licensed food premises is available on the FEHD's website (www.fehd.gov.hk/english/licensing/licence-foodPremises-rest.html).
