LEUNG SIU TIP v. COMMISSIONER OF RATING AND VAIUATION

Court

Lands Tribunal

Case number

LDRA4/1983

Because the certified designation (Area 900) excluded Lot 182 and the Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to revise the Governor's designated boundaries, the 11 tenements fall outside s36(1)(c) exemption; additionally the tenements were not pre-1945 and did not establish entitlement under Reg 3(2), therefore no exemption applies and appeals must be dismissed.

• Rates exemption
• Designated areas under s36(1)(c)
• New territories resident status
• Judicial review of administrative designation
• Indigenous vs non-indigenous resident distinction
