The court held that the prior declaration did not constitute a money judgment attracting interest under the Supreme Court Ordinance; interest on statutory compensation is payable only under s.17(3A) of the Crown Lands Resumption Ordinance in the circumstances specified therein (Lands Tribunal determination or s.4A agreement); absent those events no statutory interest is payable and an alternative claim for damages is misconceived because the CLRO provides the exclusive remedy for delayed payment.
