The court held that the correspondence from the Secretary for New Territories (notably the 18 March 1982 letter taken with earlier correspondence) amounted to the approval in principle required by the contract within the extended period; the extension notice under Clause 16 was valid as an extension for a reasonable time; the contract's silence about who must pay for upgrading the access road did not create a fatal lacuna; therefore the agreement was binding and interlocutory judgment for the plaintiffs was appropriate with damages to be assessed.
