    PANDIX LTD v. HUI KAM KWEI AND ANOTHER

    Citation
    PANDIX LTD v. HUI KAM KWEI AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Lands Tribunal
    Case number
    LDCS4000/2009

    The tribunal held that 'dwelling houses' in the Government Lease means domestic purposes only because the plain, ordinary meaning equates dwelling/residential with domestic use, the lease must be construed in context to restrict use accordingly, authorities cited do not establish a general rule permitting independent commercial uses, and Expressluck supports that commercial or business activities are not permitted in such houses.
