New Scheme for Disciplinary Cases (“the Scheme”) introduced
since 1 January 2014. Under the Scheme, licensees committing

2014 would, subject to the terms of the Scheme, not be
disciplined but any subsequent breaches within a two-year
period might attract more severe sanctions.
A total of 69 licensees were invited to opt for the Scheme in
2015/16. Among the 69 licensees who have replied, 67 opted for
the Scheme, representing a participation rate of 97.1%.
