This effect is just the classical Hall effect: the conductance in the $x$ direction remains unchanged, with the magnetic field creating an electric field in the $y$ direction due to redistribution of charge. However, this derivation hinges on a crucial assumption: \emph{all} charge carriers have the same decay time. We've seen that not to be true in the case of the Landau quasiparticles -- their decay time depends on how far away their energy is to the Fermi energy.
Therefore, in a Fermi Liquid,
there will be a population of decay timescales $\tau_k$ and conductivities $\sigma_k$. Without a magnetic field, these populations will just average out to result in an average timescale $\oberbar{\tau}$
