Summary

Tai Chung Property Limited sought a compulsory sale order for a building at 128 Un Chau Street, Sham Shui Po, where it held over 90% of undivided shares. The sole minority owner opposed, arguing the reserve price was inadequate and there was unreasonable delay. After a 4-day trial with competing expert valuations, the court granted the compulsory sale order, determining the appropriate reserve price.
