    Citation
    NEW JOY DEVELOPMENT (HONG KONG) LTD v. THINKING ENGINEERING LTD
    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ2876/2013

    Summary judgment was refused and unconditional leave to defend granted because Thinking did not demonstrate absence of a triable issue: the encroachment of the internal toilet raised a legitimate triable issue whether it went to the root of title and whether Thinking could effect substantial performance (e.g. by excision) to cure title, and Thinking's initial reply (First Letter) constituted a waiver of strict objection to lateness such that merits of the toilet requisition required trial resolution.
