Execution of the fixed-term tenancy agreements in 1970 and 1971 operated as a surrender by operation of law of the prior monthly tenancy and the defendant, by her conduct and acceptance of the new tenancies, is estopped from claiming protection under the 1970 Ordinance; therefore the landlord is entitled to possession.

PANG HANG FONG v. TO YUK LIN

Citation

PANG HANG FONG v. TO YUK LIN
Court

District Court
Case number

DCCJ2158/1971

The prescribed statutory form for a counter-notice is mandatory and the District Court lacks power to treat a non-prescribed counter-notice as effective; accordingly the defendant's document, not being in the prescribed form, did not defeat the plaintiff's entitlement to possession and mesne profits.
