- CACV293/2005
The court upheld the trial judge's findings that the plaintiff had substantially completed the piling by 31 January 2000 and had satisfied contractual/Building Authority submission obligations; the ALA survey did not establish a causal link between any alleged out-of-tolerance piles and subsequent pile cap design amendments or delay; the extensive delay before superstructure works was attributable to the defendant's actions and circumstances, and the defendant failed to prove damage causally caused by the plaintiff, therefore the defendant's counterclaim and appeal fail.
