The 1961 communications did not create proprietary rights or an irrevocable licence; residents remained licensees under occupation permits governed by the Resettlement Ordinance and terminable on notice; there was no unconscionable conduct or proprietary estoppel sufficient to bar revocation or to ground damages; the Notices to Quit were valid; therefore appellants had no entitlement to damages and the appeals were dismissed.
