Court held that LAD is calculated from the date of the booking fee/payment (date of the bargain) as established in PJD Regency, concludes LAD ends on date of notice of delivery supported by Certificate of Completion and Compliance (18-3-2024), the 153-day EOT granted under s38C Covid-19 Act applies across the project because the first agreement for the development predates 31-5-2021, LAD must be calculated on the full purchase price (not discounted price), and PW1 was properly authorised to represent the plaintiffs.

The court held that summary judgment was appropriate because the material facts were undisputed and defendant offered no triable defence: Act 829 exemptions did not apply to this commercial shop‑office SPA; LAD clause enforceable without proof of actual loss; rebate does not reduce the purchase price for LAD computation; no evidence of outstanding purchaser indebtedness preventing relief; accordingly plaintiffs entitled to LAD of RM107,300.93 and summary judgment entered with costs.
