The Tribunal held that the statutory rateable‑value multipliers in s53A(4)(a) prescribe a minimum compensation only; reasonable compensation must reflect the tenant's actual loss from being required to give up a protected tenancy early — measured by the value of the tenant's expected future use (capitalised profit rent for the relevant period) plus a disturbance allowance; past occupation or sentimental value is not a monetary measure of compensation; apportionment to sub‑tenants is from the tenant's assessed interest.
