The court held that the RO's key findings — that a named Fung ancestor inhabited the village in 1898 and that the Interested Parties descended from him — were not supported by material of logical probative value; reliance on the Block Crown Lease entry and crown rent receipts did not prove residence in 1898 or descent and thus the RO reached conclusions beyond the range of reasonable findings (Wednesbury unreasonable); accordingly the RO's determinations and the ERO's consequent inclusion of the Interested Parties were quashed and the appeal allowed.
