The Tribunal held that the statutory formula based on rateable value defines only a minimum; reasonable compensation under s.53A(4)(a) is the equivalent of the tenant's actual loss from being required to give up a protected tenancy early and is measured by the value of the tenant's expected future use (capitalised profit rent) plus an allowance for disturbance; past occupation or sentimental value is not compensable; apportionment to sub-tenants is permissible but limited by the tenant's total interest.
