    Citation
    GOLDEN BEST INVESTMENT LTD v. SECRETARY FOR JUSTICE
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCSA39/2015

    The Court held the deputy adjudicator's factual findings were within the range of reasonable conclusions: the Building Authority had statutory authority to carry out and apportion emergency repair costs; the posting of the s.33 Certificate on the incorporated owners' notice board constituted effective service under the Buildings Ordinance and, on the totality of evidence admissible in Small Claims proceedings, the Claimant failed to rebut service; the adjudicator properly exercised the duty to inquire; and there was no proven bias. The appeal was therefore dismissed.
