The SPA, being a statutory Schedule H contract, cannot validly reflect a 48-month completion period because Regulation 11(3) is ultra vires; therefore the 36-month completion period in Schedule H applies, LAD is calculated from the booking fee date and the purchaser's right accrued on deemed delivery of vacant possession (16.5.2019), the defendant raised no triable issues, and summary judgment for the plaintiff in the sum RM155,302.67 with interest and costs was proper.

The Schedule H statutory completion period of 36 months cannot be validly varied to 54 months by reference to an EOT granted under an ultra vires regulation; therefore clauses in the SPA purporting to extend completion to 54 months are invalid, plaintiffs are entitled to statutory LAD computed from the prescribed period (and from booking fee where applicable), the EOT may be disregarded without judicial review, and there were no triable issues to defeat summary judgment.
