- HCA1520/2005
The court allowed only the amendment pleading illegality (false declarations to the Lands Department and public policy concerns) because it was not factually inconsistent with prior pleadings, could be dealt with within case management timetables, and was necessary to determine whether Plaintiffs had recouped ill-gotten gains. All other proposed amendments (challenge to title/sales, forgery/attestation challenges, implied three-year completion term, and payment as condition precedent) were refused as unnecessary, vague, inconsistent with prior orders or barred by the unappealed Order for Sale.
