The Court held that the offence under section 40(1B)(b) of the Buildings Ordinance is a continuing offence until the works required by a valid order are properly completed; the appellant was the registered owner and had been validly served; she failed to establish a reasonable excuse or an applicable multi-owner defence; the Magistrate had jurisdiction and complied with procedural requirements; conviction and fines were therefore upheld.
