The SPA expressly made the purchaser liable for maintenance charges (clause 12(i)) and the 2016 specific performance judgment judicially declared Defendant 1 the beneficial owner; therefore Defendant 1 remains liable for all outstanding maintenance arrears notwithstanding administrative failure to register title, and the plaintiff's claim is allowed against Defendant 1.

JA-A52NCvC-59-03/2020 (Mahkamah Sesyen)

Plaintiff established a prima facie case based on clear, binding sale and purchase agreements containing successor‑bound clauses obliging payment of management/maintenance charges; defendant's affidavit contained only bare denials unsupported by evidence and thus failed to raise a triable issue, warranting summary judgment for plaintiff.

Plaintiff failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that defendants were contractually bound to pay the claimed maintenance: the Deed of Assignment was not proved to bind defendants not listed in Appendix I, the Deed of Mutual Covenant relied upon was not shown to have been signed by defendants, and plaintiff did not prove defendants received direct benefit; accordingly the claim was dismissed.

A72NCVC-812-07/2019 (Mahkamah Majistret)

The claim was struck out because the plaintiff had no contractual relationship or privity with the defendant and could not rely on clauses in agreements to which it was not a party; consequently the claim disclosed no reasonable cause of action, was frivolous and an abuse of the court process, justifying striking out under Order 18 r.19 and awarding costs.
