BALBEER SINGH A/L SWARAN SINGH and others (75 plaintiffs)

Plaintiffs

AUSTIN HEIGHTS SDN BHD

Defendant

Procedural Posture

Civil Housing Development / Breach of Sale and Purchase Agreement / Judgment (high Court)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the brochure and SPA representations created contractual obligations regarding the Roof Top Garden and common facilities
  2. 2 Whether the defendant’s disclaimer in the brochure excluded liability
  3. 3 Whether vacant possession required actual supply of electricity (‘ready for connection’) at handover

Ratio Decidendi

The brochure together with the SPA created enforceable contractual representations that the Roof Top Garden and functioning common facilities would be provided; the developer’s disclaimer did not negate those contractual obligations; vacant possession requires actual supply of electricity and the developer failed to provide actual electricity on delivery (only supplied on 13.9.2016), therefore plaintiffs were entitled to damages for misrepresentation and late delivery.

Court Disposition

Judgment for Plaintiffs

Orders

  • Damages for misrepresentation awarded at 10% of the purchase price as per the Amended Statement of Claim table payable to the plaintiffs
  • Liquidated Ascertained Damages awarded to Plaintiffs 1 to 39 for late delivery of vacant possession calculated up to 13.9.2016 as per the Amended Statement of Claim table
