The court found the pleaded oral agreement (as alleged by the plaintiff) did not exist; although the pipes were unauthorized building works installed during renovation, the plaintiff failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that 2/F was the source of the water seepage because all relevant tests were negative and no plausible explanation rendered those negatives inconclusive; accordingly plaintiff’s claims in contract and tort failed and were dismissed; the 1st defendant’s counterclaim for return of the rental deposit succeeded.
