A Filipina domestic helper charged with breach of condition of stay for selling food at Repulse Bay, got off with just a bind-over at Shatin Courtearlier today.
The prosecution withdrew the
charge of violating section 41 of the Immigration Ordinance and by virtue of
Regulation 2 of the Immigration Regulations, after MJO agreed to the bindover offer.

The Immigration Department filed the case against her after
she was arrested last Sept. 9 for selling food to beach goers at
Repulse Bay.
This violated the condition of stay imposed by an
Immigration Assistant on Aug. 6, 2024, when she was permitted to remain in Hong
Kong for employment as a domestic helper for the employer who signed her contract,
the Immigration complaint said.
