| The accused Filipina got off lightly after appearing in Shatin Court |
Prosecutors offered no evidence against E. Domingo, aged 57,
and subsequently withdrew the charge of breach of condituon of stay, which
violates the Immigration Ordinance, after she agreed to be bound over.
Magistrate Andrew Mok told her that this will preserve her clean
record as long as she would keep her promise for 18 months. If she reoffends, however,
she would be fined $1,000 and would be punished for the new offense.

Magistrate Mok also told her to pay $500 to cover court costs,
to be taken from her cash bail.
The case was filed by the Immigration Department, accusing her
of establishing a business selling food in Wanchai, which violates her
condition of stay imposed on her by Immigratuon on May13, 2022.
The condition permitted her to stay in Hong Kong to work only
as a domestic helper for a specific employer at an address stated in the work contract
they signed jointly.
In another courtroom in Shatin, another breach of condition
of stay case was adjourned, this time involving illegal work.
Jenny Guzman, aged 44, appeared in court accused of doing
odd job duties in Shau Kei Wan last Feb. 22, which is prohibited under the terms of her visa as a domestic helper.
Deputy Magistrate Li
Cheuk-wai scheduled the next hearing for Sept. 17 for verdict.
