The FHAN dated 22 October 1990 was quashed as ultra vires s.9(1) of the Fire Services Ordinance because the statute contemplates a fire hazard constituted by something in or on the premises capable of abatement and not merely the lawful commercial use of premises; the Applicant had a legitimate expectation to be consulted but, on the facts, the statutory review under s.125(9) was a fair hearing and cured any procedural defect and the licensing refusal was therefore dismissed on the merits.
