TECHNIC INVESTMENT CO LTD AND ANOTHER v.APPEAL TRIBUNAL (BUILDINGS)

Citation

TECHNIC INVESTMENT CO LTD AND ANOTHER v.APPEAL TRIBUNAL (BUILDINGS)
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCAL33/2011

The court held the Building Authority did not misapply policy: BUC selection criteria are resource‑deployment guidelines and do not fetter the BA's statutory discretion under sections 24 and 24C; the List of non-actionable items can operate as a toleration policy but the BAT's factual finding that the canopies were solid structures (and thus actionable) was unimpeachable on judicial review; consequently the BAT's dismissal of the appeals was lawful and the judicial review was dismissed.
