The Schedule H statutory completion period of 36 months cannot be validly varied to 54 months by reference to an EOT granted under an ultra vires regulation; therefore clauses in the SPA purporting to extend completion to 54 months are invalid, plaintiffs are entitled to statutory LAD computed from the prescribed period (and from booking fee where applicable), the EOT may be disregarded without judicial review, and there were no triable issues to defeat summary judgment.

Clause 10.10 DMC was void and unenforceable because it conflicted with statutory provisions of the SMA and attempted to confer preferential rates contrary to ss21(2) and 25(3); the JMB/MC was entitled to collect the insurance, quit rent and water charges deposited into the maintenance account and to impose late payment interest up to 10%; consequently the Sessions Court judgment awarding RM392,037.58 plus prescribed interest and costs was correct and affirmed on appeal.

On the balance of probabilities the Plaintiff failed to prove the funds were advanced to Globetel; the Plaintiff's signature on the 6.4.2015 covering letter acknowledging receipt of signed resignation and transfer documents was genuine as established by expert comparison and specimens; the Defendant thus performed the LOU condition by delivering the relevant documents and the LOU operated as accord and satisfaction/waiver extinguishing the claim; interlocutory dismissal of summary judgment in prior Suit 693 did not operate as res judicata.
