- LDPE316/2020
The Tribunal found no sufficient evidence that the landlord or a person with authority unequivocally promised a 50% rent reduction for February and March 2020, and no principal‑emanating representation establishing apparent authority of Mr Chan. The partial payments did not constitute accord and satisfaction and promissory estoppel did not apply because there was no clear, unequivocal promise inducing detrimental reliance. Therefore the landlord's claim for possession and unpaid rent succeeds.
