RE CHAN YU NAM AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL77/2005

Leave to apply for judicial review was refused because the court had no jurisdiction to entertain a challenge by non‑parties to what was treated as a domestic/contractual arbitration under the EHCO and Arbitration Ordinance; alternatively applicants lacked sufficient interest, their substantive challenge was unarguable given the arbitrators' lawful evaluation of facts and contractual context, expert evidence was partisan and deficient, and the application was unduly delayed.

Citation

SECRETARY FOR THE NEW TERRITORIES v. LEE PUI LEUNG
Court

Lands Tribunal
Case number

LDLR1/1981

The Tribunal held that the relevant redevelopment scheme was represented by the 1977 amended plan only and therefore did not apply the Pointe Gourde exclusion to the effects of the 1976 plan; regression (linear) analysis for pedestrian flow was not accepted absent profession-wide adoption; valuation must rely on adjusted comparables, zoning where appropriate, a 20% p.a. time adjustment accepted for this case, proper deferment/discounting applied for scheme effects, and resulted in an open market compensation award of HKD 1,425,000 to the Claimant.
