Application and Claims
- Applicants' Claims: The applicants claimed that they were fit and proper persons to hold security licenses and requested that their applications for licensing be reconsidered.
- Respondents' Claims: The respondents contended that the applicants did not meet the necessary criteria established by the Security Industry Act, specifically questioning their fitness and propriety.
Judicial Decisions
