The objects clause must be construed so that each paragraph is a separate object; clause 3(p) authorised the appellant to act as agents/managers and therefore estate management was intra vires; the DMC validly appointed the appellant as contractual manager and, absent an express statutory exception, the DMC's contractual powers prevail over conflicting provisions of the Multi-Storey Buildings (Owners Incorporation) Ordinance; consequently the appellant was entitled to recover the management and repair fees and to sue for them.
