The Court held that for the purposes of the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance the effective rateable values on 10 June 1983 are those fixed by the Lands Tribunal with effect from 1 April 1983 under Part IX of the Rating Ordinance; administrative delay in physically amending the list does not prevent the retrospective effect of the Tribunal's determination from being recognized, and allowing tenants to rely on such administrative or valuation errors to obtain decontrol would be inconsistent with the statutory scheme.
