On the balance of probabilities the court found no actionable misrepresentation and no rectification; the building renovation was the act of the Incorporated Owners and not attributable to the plaintiffs as landlords so there was no breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment by the plaintiffs; the defendants repudiated the tenancy and are liable for rent and damages but the plaintiffs failed reasonably to mitigate, so damages were reduced to HK$742,224.84 plus specified interest and a costs order of 90% in favour of the plaintiffs.
