The proceedings were instituted under the Fixed Penalty (Criminal Proceedings) Ordinance (as indicated by the information and paragraph (b)), the Commissioner lacked authority to pursue the specific fixed penalty recovery in the circumstances and the information misled the magistrate into exercising powers not lawfully invoked; therefore the conviction and associated penalty orders were unauthorized and must be quashed.
