    On re-hearing the court found Delicate primarily liable for delay due to inadequate manpower and failure to plead asserted excuses; Intiga entitled to back-charges arising from delay. The NYC claim was allowed only to the extent of East Elevation labour (reducing the judgment sum from RM172,719.62 to RM103,769.22). Scaffolding and overtime back-charges were held recoverable on balance of probabilities; Delicate’s counterclaim (RM360,691.17) dismissed for lack of documentary substantiation and pleaded particulars.
