- CACC302/1984
A Hong Kong Government Driving Permit issued under Government General Regulations is subordinate to driving licences issued under the Road Traffic Ordinance and Regulations and is rendered invalid during a statutory disqualification; although the charge was duplicitious by alleging "on divers dates," the record and evidence established driving on specific dates within the prosecutable period (6–10 October 1983), so no miscarriage of justice arose and the magistrate's conviction and sentence were correctly affirmed.
