The court upheld the Respondent's award because the respondent's valuation and the assessors' reports were more reliable and properly applied statutory principles: unauthorized building improvements were excluded, claimant's comparables were not comparable and adjustments were excessive, and many incidental claims lacked supporting evidence; therefore the award as determined by the Land Administrator is maintained and the reference is dismissed.

The acquisition authority must pay reasonable compensation to the management corporation for common property acquired in the same process after parcel owners are compensated; however, on the facts of this case compensation is appropriate for the income-earning and potential income-earning car parking bays only (not vacant open space), and the Land Administrator's award is to be increased by RM685,040 with 5% p.a. interest from the date of Borang K until full realisation, plus costs to the applicant.
