    HCMP1873/2006

    Special Condition (c) was construed to prohibit commercial use of the ground floors at Oxford Heights and Cambridge Heights; historical acquiescence amounted only to waiver of breaches in respect of existing small houses, not to abandonment of the covenant for redevelopment; Rating Department valuation and rent demands do not estop the Lands Department from enforcing the covenant; therefore declarations sought by plaintiffs were refused and summonses dismissed.
