LEUNG SIU TIP v. COMMISSIONER OF RATING AND VAIUATION
Court

Lands Tribunal
Case number

LDRA9/1983

The Tribunal held it had no power to review or alter the Governor's designation; the certified Area 900 excluded Lot 182, therefore the 11 tenements were not within a designated area under s36(1)(c) and so were not exempt from rates; appeals dismissed.

LEUNG SIU TIP v. COMMISSIONER OF RATING AND VAIUATION

Citation

LEUNG SIU TIP v. COMMISSIONER OF RATING AND VAIUATION
Court

Lands Tribunal
Case number

LDRA4/1983

Because the certified designation (Area 900) excluded Lot 182 and the Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to revise the Governor's designated boundaries, the 11 tenements fall outside s36(1)(c) exemption; additionally the tenements were not pre-1945 and did not establish entitlement under Reg 3(2), therefore no exemption applies and appeals must be dismissed.
