The court held that (1) effective vacant possession occurs only when electricity and water supplies are available to be tapped and function in individual units; (2) late delivery damages must be calculated from the scheduled delivery date until actual connection to each unit and the multiplicand for damages is the discounted price actually paid by the purchaser (not the pre-discount contracted price); and (3) purchasers who entered valid settlements/consent judgments are bound and cannot re-litigate the same claims before the Tribunal.
