The court found the Plaintiff had properly answered requisitions under the Contract and was entitled to prove title at or before completion; the Defendant failed to complete by the contractual time, Plaintiff lawfully terminated and forfeited the deposit, undertakings after completion are not generally enforceable but Clause 4(b) bound the parties here, and demolition of a very small unauthorised pantry amounted to a de minimis defect under substantial performance entitling only to a minor reduction in value; net damages awarded to Plaintiff were HK$1,230,000.
