Lands Tribunal Bill to be gazetted
A bill which seeks to amend the Lands Tribunal Ordinance will be gazetted on October 20 (Friday).
The Lands Tribunal (Amendment) Bill 1995 seeks to provide the Lands Tribunal with express jurisdiction under section 8(7) of the Lands Tribunal Ordinance to make orders for vacant possession, founded on the termination of tenancies, by notices of termination served pursuant to Parts IV or V of the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance.
Under the bill, the Lands Tribunal is to be regarded as always having had this jurisdiction.
The bill, which will be introduced to the Legislative Council on November 2, also makes appropriate amendments to reflect the current position on the appointment of members of the Tribunal.
