The court found the defendants in breach by unreasonably delaying compliance with the consent order; "forthwith" required prompt commissioning and carrying out of the repair and defendants could not rely on internal management or procedural inconveniences that could have been addressed before the consent order; credible expert evidence established defective roof works as the cause of seepage; plaintiff entitled to loss of rent of HKD 340,600 for the 21-month period attributable to defendants' delay.
