    LEE WOON PING v. SMART DRAGON ASIA PACIFIC LTD

    Court
    District Court
    Case number
    DCCJ844/2020

    On the evidence the court inferred that seepage at least partly originated from Flat 5E: abatement of seepage when flushwater supply to Flat 5E was suspended, high chloride content and dye (fluorescein) observed on plaintiff's ceiling and expert findings established a causal link to Flat 5E's flushwater/floor drainage; the defendant knew or ought to have known and failed to take reasonable steps to repair; therefore defendant liable in nuisance and negligence and injunctive relief and damages were appropriate.
