    CHAN KAM CHUNG v. THE QUEEN

    Citation
    CHAN KAM CHUNG v. THE QUEEN
    Court
    Court of Appeal
    Case number
    CACC676/1972

    The Court held there is no power to order disqualification for more than twelve months under the Insurance Ordinance because s.4(2)(a) is a saving clause that does not itself confer substantive power and s.23 of the Traffic Ordinance does not operate to extend the Traffic Ordinance's disqualification power to convictions under the Insurance Ordinance; therefore the magistrate's disqualification was reduced to the twelve month minimum and confined to the class of vehicle involved.
