The case for the appellanks, The Ab Man & Company, Build ing Contractors, was that the order was made under à Section erf the Building Ordinance which had been suspended by an amend- ment lẹ the Landlord and Tenant Prucimination.

At Be Central Magistracy, the Respondents, The Hong Kong Piece Gods Merchants Associn. tim, applied for an order when appellants would not leave 11 premises because, of the desire of
