Property law [2023] SGHC 284

The Management Corporation Strata Title Plan No. 1788 v Lau Hui Lay William & Anor

The court held that the defendants completed the physical installation of the mezzanine attics in 1993, before the BMSMA came into force on 1 April 2005, and that 'effect' in s 37 BMSMA refers to effecting physical works; therefore an application to URA in 2021/22 to retain earlier works does not constitute 'effecting any improvement' under s 37 and the MCST has no cause of action under s 37; planning contraventions are matters for URA and do not give MCST a civil cause of action, rendering the application unsustainable.

  • Section 37 bmsma
  • Meaning of 'effect any improvement'
  • Retrospectivity
  • Planning permission and development charges
  • Limitation - fraudulent concealment
