The Registrar's award for the full claimed sum was set aside because the Defendant failed to prove the crucial causal link that the 2009 injunction necessitated a 3-metre setback and consequent rebuilding costs; the Plaintiff could not avoid liability simply because the Defendant did not obtain the Plaintiff's prior approval, but only proven demolition costs actually incurred (RM 403,200.00) were recoverable while speculative/reconstruction costs were too remote or hypothetical.
