Appeal dismissed: RM5,000 was a stakeholder sum held by solicitors and not a booking fee so LAD accrues from the SPA date; the Housing Controller's extensions of time are valid and were not properly challenged in these proceedings (judicial review was the proper mode); consequently no LAD was payable and the 2nd Respondent cannot be compelled to release the stakeholder sum given clause 30(3), s22E HDA and solicitors' fiduciary/statutory duties.
