The 1961 communications did not create proprietary rights or an irrevocable licence; residents only held occupation permits terminable on notice under the Resettlement Ordinance and were not induced to acquire a proprietary interest such that unconscionability/proprietary estoppel would prevent revocation; the notices to quit were valid and there was no lawful basis in public or private law for damages in these judicial review proceedings; appeals dismissed.
