The Tribunal held that s53A's prescribed multiples of rateable value establish a minimum entitlement only; reasonable compensation must be assessed by reference to the tenant's actual loss — principally the value of the tenant's expected future use of the protected tenancy (capitalised profit rent for the appropriate period) plus a disturbance allowance — and past occupation sentimental value is not compensable; apportionment to sub-tenants follows from apportioning the tenant's interest rather than applying a separate statutory formula.
