The Court of Appeal affirmed the High Court: purchasers proved existence of patent and latent defects and developer breached statutory/materials and workmanship obligations in the SPAs; contested DRFs/FFs were forged and inadmissible; developer could not contract out of Schedule I protections in the asserted manner; the DLP bars only patent defects discoverable within 24 months and does not preclude claims for latent defects; applications to admit fresh evidence and cross-appeals were dismissed/struck out; appellants' appeals dismissed and High Court judgment affirmed with costs.
