RM5,000 was a stakeholder sum not a booking fee so LAD calculation begins from the SPA date; the Housing Controller validly granted extensions of time which could not be invalidated in this originating summons (challenge requires judicial review in the High Court); solicitors holding stakeholder sums cannot be ordered to release them contrary to clause 30(3) of the SPA and section 22E HDA 1966 because doing so would breach statutory, fiduciary and professional duties; therefore delivery occurred within the approved time and LAD claims and the order to release stakeholder funds fail.
