    CHAN WAH CHUEN WILLIAM v. DIRECTOR OF HOUSING

    Citation
    CHAN WAH CHUEN WILLIAM v. DIRECTOR OF HOUSING
    Court
    Lands Tribunal
    Case number
    LDHA2/2012

    The Lands Tribunal's statutory jurisdiction under the Lands Tribunal Ordinance and the Schedule to the Housing Ordinance is limited to appeals against the Director's assessment of prevailing market value; an appeal challenging the initial market value recorded at the time of assignment is beyond the Tribunal's jurisdiction and therefore the Notice of Appeal discloses no reasonable ground and is struck out; transfer to the CFI is refused because the appellant's cause was insufficiently pleaded to justify transfer.
