1. The Sea Dragon Billiard and Shooker Association has, since December 1986, operated a substantial business in Ngau Tau Kok Road, Kowloon by way of a billiard hall. In 1988 an amendment to the Public Health and Municipal Services Ordinance, Cap. 132, required a business of that kind to obtain a "billiard establishment" licence from the Urban Council. The amendment was to become effective in December 1989.
