CHUI MARJORIE CHE YING, CHUI TONI YIM v. APPEAL TRIBUNAL (BUILDINGS), BUILDING AUTHORITY
- Citation
- [2025] HKCFA 21
- Court
- Court of Final Appeal
- Case number
- FAMV104/2025
Because the Buildings Ordinance defines 'building' to include any part of a building, s28(3) must be read to permit the Building Authority to serve a repair order on the owner of the relevant part (the unit) served by the defective drain; the Court of Appeal's construction is correct, the applicants' alternative constructions are not reasonably arguable, and potential access issues are addressed by s22 and by DMC/easement rights, so the BA validly served the applicants and leave to appeal is refused.
