Court of Appeal held Sarawak HDO 2013/HDR 2014 are social legislation to be construed purposively; Regulation 9(4) prohibits collection of payments except as prescribed and where booking fees were collected prior to execution of SPA the effective contract date for LAD purposes is the date of payment of the booking fee; Tribunal correctly calculated LAD from booking fee date; Tribunal did not exceed jurisdiction on the facts because technical and non-technical claims are separate matters; cross-appeals by developer were incompetent and dismissed.
