- DCCJ1628/2006
The court held that the floor slab above Unit C constituted a common part which the Defendant (owners incorporation) was required to maintain under the Building Management Ordinance; it failed to do so (allowing water ponding, trapping under metal sheets, corrosion and overloading), this breach caused the concrete spalling and collapse, and the Defendant is wholly liable for plaintiffs' losses; counterclaim for contribution by Defendant dismissed.
