Catchwords

This case concerns claims by parcel owners of K Residence Condominium against the developer, landowner and directors for alleged mismanagement causing diminution in unit values and loss of rental income. The Court held that while the plaintiffs had locus standi to pursue personal claims, no contractual nexus or basis for lifting the corporate veil existed against the 2nd to the 4th defendants. The plaintiffs’ valuation evidence was methodologically flawed, the alleged losses amounted to mere “paper losses” and only one of thirty-seven plaintiffs testified. The claim was dismissed with costs. Principles of privity apply, evidential burden and compensable damage.
