    Court
    Lands Tribunal
    Case number
    LDNT373/2001

    The Tribunal accepted the respondent's expert valuation methodology restricting appropriate comparables to Flats 13, A13 and C2 (Comparables 4,5,6), averaged adjusted unit rates to $97.37 per sq.m. and applied that to the equivalent saleable area 42.05 sq.m. to determine the PMR at $4,100 per month (exclusive of rates and management fee); it refused to order rebates for payments made between 1996 and commencement because the Ordinance does not empower the Tribunal to grant such rebates for that period and declined to impose a standing order clause as an unusual term for a domestic tenancy.
