Hong Kong CIC revokes and suspends registrations over integrity breaches

Hong Kong’s ICAC said two cases involving registered subcontractors were prosecuted over the taking of illegal referral fees from construction workers. The source does not state whether the individuals or companies were convicted, or provide further details of the prosecutions.

Following an ICAC referral, the Construction Industry Council (CIC) conducted regulatory hearings and found that the two companies breached integrity-management requirements under the Registered Specialist Trade Contractors Scheme. The CIC revoked one registration and suspended the other for six months.
