Read the full judgment text of DCCJ 002138/1979 on BabelCite. This District Court judgment.
1. At the conclusion of this action on the 5th of October 1979 I gave judgment and delivered orally at the time my reasons for the judgment I gave. I did not reserve my decision because I was convinced after hearing the submissions of Mr. Chan of counsel and Mr. Choy, solicitor, that the case was largely governed by the decision in the Capital Land Investment Company case. The parties however have asked me to reduce my reasons to writing and it is in deference to their wishes that I now do so.
