    Defendant had parted with or shared possession of the cockloft with China Master trading as Hong Kong Wine Club and displayed its signboard, breaching clauses 5(w) and 5(v); the May 14 letter giving notice to stop unlawful acts and referring to damages satisfied section 58 CPO in the circumstances; therefore summary judgment for possession and damages and the Master's decision on costs are upheld and the appeal is dismissed.

    SNOWLAND LTD v. TOPLAND HOLDINGS LTD AND ANOTHER

    Citation
    SNOWLAND LTD v. TOPLAND HOLDINGS LTD AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Lands Tribunal
    Case number
    LDBM124/2005

    The external wall is part of the common parts under the BMO (no registered instrument designated it for exclusive use); consequently section 16 BMO vests enforcement regarding common parts in the Incorporated Owners and deprives the individual Applicant of locus standi to sue, requiring dismissal of the Applicant's claims. The Lands Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to entertain the trespass claim as a common law action in these proceedings.

    LAU KWOK KING v. CASHPOINT LIMITED t/a CHEQUEPOINT BUREAU DE CHANGE

    Citation
    LAU KWOK KING v. CASHPOINT LIMITED t/a CHEQUEPOINT BUREAU DE CHANGE
    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ14272/1983

    The plaintiff, as reversioner, was entitled to injunctive relief because the defendant's unauthorised box-like signboard constituted a trespass that caused an injury to the reversion of a permanent character (it concealed the shop frontage and depreciated value and will endure until removed); 'permanent' means it continues indefinitely unless removed, so the landlord may sue without joining the tenant and obtain removal and an injunction.
