YEOH KENG TAT v SL LAND SDN BHD
Catchwords
This is an appeal arising from a dispute over a differential sum allegedly payable under a sale and purchase agreement involving twelve units of properties. The Appellant/Defendant contended that the parties shared a close personal relationship at the material time, within which there arose an oral understanding that the differential sum would be waived. The Respondent/Plaintiff rejected this claim, insisting that no such agreement was reached and that the written terms of the contract are clear, binding, and enforceable. The Sessions Court accepted the Respondent/Plaintiff’s position and entered judgment in its favour after full trial. The Appellant now challenges that decision, alleging errors of both law and fact. The overriding issue is whether the Respondent/Plaintiff is entitled to the reliefs as prayed for in its Amended Statement of Claim and for this appeal to be dismissed.
