MR CHUNG SAID PERIOD MIGHT NOT BE

THE GROUP WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FOUR-MONTH ADEQUATE BUT IN ORDER NOT TO UNDERMINE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SCHEME, IT WAS AGREED THAT THE GRACE PERIOD SHOULD BE REVIEWED AFTER A TRIAL PERIOD.

ON SERVING WRITTEN NOTICE OF FIRST CONVICTION TO THE REGISTERED OWNER, MR CHUNG SAID THAT THE ARRANGEMENT WOULD BE

THAT, APART FROM AFFIXING A NOTICE TO THE PREMISES CONCERNED AND PUBLISHING IT IN NEWSPAPERS, THE REGISTERED OWNER WOULD BE SENT A COPY OF THE REGISTERED NOTIFICATION AT THE LAST KNOWN ADDRESS ACCORDING то THE RECORDS OF THE LANDS OFFICE.

ON REGISTRATION OF CHARGES AND CONVICTIONS, MR CHUNG SAID THAT ΤΟ PROTECT THE INTERESTS OF PROSPECTIVE PURCHASERS AND MORTGAGEE BANKS, PROVISION HAD BEEN INCLUDED IN THE BILL FOR THE REGISTRATION OF ALL CHARGES AND CONVICTIONS. THE SAME PROCEDURES WOULD APPLY IN RELATION TO VESSELS.

ALSO, PROVISION HAD BEEN MADE FOR MORTGAGEES AND CHARGEES ΤΟ MAKE A CLAIM IN THE EVENT THEIR PREMISES WERE CLOSED, MR CHUNG ADDED.

TO AVOID POSSIBLE PROCEDURAL PROBLEMS IF A VESSEL OWNER COULD NOT BE LOCATED FOR THE COURT HEARING, MR CHUNG SAID THAT AGREEMENT HAD BEEN REACHED WITH THE ADMINISTRATION THAT AUTOMATIC FORFEITURE SHOULD APPLY IN CASES WHERE NO CLAIMS CAME FORWARD WITHIN A SPECIFIED PERIOD.

FINALLY, CONSIDERING THAT CLOSURE OF PREMISES MIGHT BE TOO SEVERE FOR OPERATORS OF UNLICENSED MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENTS, IT HAD BEEN AGREED THAT THERE WAS NO NEED TO EXTEND THE SCHEME TO UNLICENSED MASSAGE ESTABLISHMENTS, MR CHUNG SAID.
