The Court held the Council validly appointed inspectors and exercised powers under sections 8AA and 8B lawfully; section 8B's requirement for production notwithstanding privilege does not contravene Article 35 of the Basic Law because use of disclosed documents is strictly limited to inquiries and investigations, and the appellant was properly found guilty of deliberate non-compliance with the lawful notice.
