HCMA000137/1996 IN THE SUPREME COURT OF HONG KONG (Appellate Jurisdiction) MAGISTRACY APPEAL NO. 137 OF 1996 --------------
-------------- Coram : Hon Duffy, J. in Court Date of hearing : 29 February 1996 Date of handing down judgment : 5 March 1996 ------------------------ J U D G M E N T ------------------------ 1. This was an appeal against a total fine of $9,000 imposed for operating a food factory without a licence. The fine was one of $2,500 plus a fine of $100 per day for 65 days. This was the second time I had dealt with this Appellant for exactly the same matter. This case simply dealt with another summons taken out subsequently to the last one with which I dealt, and had the original summons included all the days, covered by this summons, during which the Appellant ran the food factory without a licence, then the fine would have been substantially reduced. I therefore allowed the appeal to the extent that I reduced the principal fine to one of $1,000 and the daily fine to $50, making a total of $4,250. The appeal is allowed accordingly.
