GEO WIN SDN BHD 1. ) CC LAND RESOURCES SDN BHD 2. ) SHA CHAIM CHUAN

The Court dismissed the appeal and affirmed the High Court order for specific performance: the LOU is enforceable because any s221 issue was not available to the Appellant as an outsider and was elected to be affirmed by the company; s223 did not apply because the LOU required relinquishment by the developer (Appellant) not disposal by the company and the single unit was not a substantial portion; minor non‑compliance fell within de minimis and estoppel and acquiescence barred the Appellant; forgery claims were rejected on credibility and expert evidence.
