    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA532/2021

    The lift/elevator lobby at the residential building was not a 'public place' as defined in Cap.599G because access was limited to residents, invitees or permitted persons and not to the public at large; accordingly the appellant could not be convicted under the regulation for participating in a prohibited 'public' group gathering and the conviction and sentence were quashed.
