HCMA113/2016

The court construed 'enrol' and 'registration' in the context of the Nurses Registration Ordinance as proceedings admitting a person onto a register and held that the exception in s.4(1)(c) of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Ordinance applies to those registration/enrollment proceedings; the proposed questions were not reasonably arguable points of law of great and general importance and the application for a certificate under s.32 was refused.

• False declaration to obtain registration
• Rehabilitation of offenders ordinance s.4(1)(c) exception
• Disclosure of spent convictions
• Nurses registration ordinance enrollment/registration
• Certification under court of final appeal ordinance s.32
