     A company was fined $4,000 at the Kowloon City Magistrates’ Courts today (July 25) for contravening the Clubs (Safety of Premises) Ordinance.
      
     The courts heard that in December last year, officers from the Office of the Licensing Authority (OLA) of the Home Affairs Department conducted inspections at a club on Cameron Road in Tsim Sha Tsui which had been operating with a certificate of compliance (CoC).
      
     OLA officers posed as customers and patronised the club for drinks without being asked to show their membership status or being invited to join the club as members. Also, the staff of the club failed to show the registered drawings upon the OLA officers’ request. Conditions 17 and 19 of the CoC were breached.
      
     The company, being the CoC holder of the club, was charged with contravening section 21(2) of the Ordinance.
