    Citation
    HKSAR v. NG NGA WO
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA185/2001

    The High Court affirmed the magistrate's finding that multiple and material omissions and inaccuracies in the dangerous drugs register — including incorrect balances, missing supplier details, inadequate address entries, non‑chronological entries and missing drug names — meant the statutory requirement to keep the register in the specified form was not met; delegation to nurses without adequate safeguards did not constitute due diligence and therefore the conviction was upheld.
