The magistrate properly exercised discretion to refuse to issue private summonses because the allegations were insubstantial and disclosed no criminal offence; ss 21 and 22 of the Magistrates Ordinance cannot be used to compel production of CCTV before proceedings are instituted; the appellant failed to prosecute his appeal and sufficient time had been afforded, so the appeal is dismissed to secure finality.
