Statement On Crops Harvested
Judgment In Rental Case Reserved
Judgment was renerved yes terday by Mr. Justice Reynolds (Acting Pulsne Judge) on an appent against the decision of n Tenancy Tribunal varying the rental of No. 45 Hinkow Road, 3rd Пbor, Kowloon,
The appeal was brought on the ground that the decision of the Tribunal, which comprised Mr. Jose M. Norrin (Calirman), Mrs. A. Wakseki and Mr. Fre- derlek C. Mow Fung (Members). was wrong in law.
Mr. B. A. Bernacchi, Instructed by Mr. A.S.K. Lau of Mesare. A.S.K. Lau & Company represent- rd the appellant, Mr. Chan Kidge" Juen. Mr. Leo Green, the respon- dent, was represented by Mr. M. A. dn Siva.
The rent paid in respect of the promisen before the application to the Tribunal was $360 n month. The respondent applled to the Tribunal for a decrease of $240.
In the absence of evidence to prove that the rent payable just prior to December 1941, the Tri- bunal, after viewing the pre mises, came to the conclusion that the rent payable in Decem- ber 1941 could not have been for from $100 a month.
The Tribunal therefore as- sessed the rent payable to the principal tennut at $150, exclusive of rates andl taxes.
It was contended on behalf of the appellant that the respondent was no louter tement of the pre- mlses within the meaning of Ar- ticle 4 (a) of the Proclamation.
Without Consent
and trans-
The submission that the res- pondent had, without the know- ledge and written
consent of the appellant, assigned ferred the premises in dispute to David Green; alternatively, that respondent had abandoned pos- session of the premiers,
It was further
submitted thnd
at the hearing before the Tri- bunal, David Green purported to represent the respondent and that the Tribunal was wrong in de- evidence, ciding that, upon the the said David Green was entitled to represent the respondent.
On behalf of the respondent,
| Mr. Sliva submitted that a bind- ing agreement had been readied
should accordingly be dismissed. After further submissions by crainsel, Mr. Justice Reynalds re- served judgment.
