FULL COURT QUASHES COMPENSATION AWARD
**
41
An order of certiorari to quash an award made by a Board of Arbitrators on May 21, 1954, in respect of the resumption of certain lots of "Crown land in the New Territories was made by the Full Court this morning.
The compensation awarded by the Board was accordingly quashed. The grounds for the application for the order of certiorari were that the award, which was for the buildings erected on the lots, amount- ing to approximately $58,500, was in excess of jurisdiction and bad in law under reasons given by the Board in support of it.
