- LDMR28/1999
Tribunal preferred the respondent's expert valuation methodology because it applied a consistent direct comparison and defensible ancillary fractions; adopted an adjusted base unit rate of HK$29,000 per sq.m. for main accommodation, valued garden ancillary at one‑tenth of house unit value, and limited recoverable moving/acquisition expenses under s10(2)(e)(i) to specified legal, agency and removal costs. Pre-resumption purchase by Lot RP lacked sufficient causal connection to resumption and its claimed expenses were dismissed.
