Claims and payments of liquidated ascertained damages (“LAD”) in housing development contracts have become very contentious in recent years. Many developers are brought to court for late completion of housing development projects within the stipulated contractual period claims on payments of LAD. However, homebuyers are perplexed that even when the computation of LAD is expressly provided for in the sales and purchase agreement (“SPA”), the law on LAD requires LAD to be proved. Such a position is intriguing and causes unwarranted hardship to these innocent purchasers.
This CPD Live webinar explores the locus classicus decision of Selva Kumar Murugiah v Thiagarajah Retnasamy [1995] 2 CLJ 374 and the plethora of cases that have endorsed the said decision, with regard to the issue of proving actual damages which has shaped the law on proving LAD in housing development contracts.
