    NORDIC ASIA LTD AND OTHERS v. STRAWBERRY HILL DEVELOPMENT LTD AND ANOTHER

    Citation
    NORDIC ASIA LTD AND OTHERS v. STRAWBERRY HILL DEVELOPMENT LTD AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Lands Tribunal
    Case number
    LDLA33/1982

    The Tribunal held that 'fair market rent' under s.115(1) is a market‑based concept reflecting rents that might reasonably be expected in the market, excluding atypical one‑off transactions; it rejected package‑deal discounts as outside s.115(1), treated tenant inertia as a possible but fact‑specific market factor (no substantial adjustment on these facts), required other disputed tenancy terms to be fixed under ss.119I/119J before calculating rent, and fixed specific new tenancy durations, terms and monthly rents for each disputed property accordingly.
