The court held that the metal structures were "building works" (additions) within the definition in section 2 of the Buildings Ordinance, the Building Authority had statutory power under section 24(1) to issue the demolition order, the existence of remedies under Cap.123 (including Part VI appeal mechanism) precluded a collateral challenge to the order in criminal proceedings, and Cap.132 did not exclusively displace Cap.123; accordingly the conviction was upheld.
