Court

Lands Tribunal
Case number

LDCS11014/2006

The tribunal found the transitional termination notice was properly served and satisfied s.6(5) LTAO so the head tenancy and derived subtenancy terminated on 31 October 2007; because compensation under the Ordinance is only available where tenancy is terminated by an order for sale, the intended respondent had no locus to claim compensation and the application for joinder was dismissed.

CHOW WING v. YUEN CHI-HUNG AND ANOTHER
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACV145/1980

The tenant must prove on the civil standard that, considering all circumstances, it would be thoroughly unjust to make an order for possession under s53(2)(b)(i); if the tenant only shows the merits are evenly balanced the tenant has not discharged the burden and the possession order should follow once the landlord proves reasonable requirement.
