On the court record
Rohan Arasoo Yeyabalah appears in the reported corpus as appellant's counsel in a substantial housing-development dispute before the Court of Appeal, a matter that turns on the boundary between a developer's statutory and contractual duties and the mechanisms that limit its liability. The proceedings engaged the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1976 and the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Regulations 1989, with the developer's obligations of good workmanship, quality materials and the standards expected of housing sold to a luxury standard in issue, and the limits on contracting out under regulation 11(1B) at the centre of the appeal.
Appearing for the appellant, his reported work engaged the levers by which the extent of liability is contested. The court considered the scope of the defect liability period under the sale and purchase agreement and whether latent as opposed to patent defects were recoverable, the evidentiary weight to be given to defect rectification forms and related records against allegations of forgery and the burden of proof, and the interpretation of the sale and purchase agreement by reference to business common sense and implied terms. Causation was addressed on a "but for" analysis where more than one cause was said to be in play. The appeal is a study in how a party contests findings on the quality of construction and the honesty of the rectification paperwork, and how far the statutory protections for house buyers permit or resist the narrowing of a developer's exposure. The reported appearance places Rohan Arasoo Yeyabalah in the field of housing-development and construction-defect litigation at the appellate level, arguing the interaction of the 1976 Act, the Regulations and the sale and purchase agreement from the appellant's standpoint. The reported reasoning, ranging across statutory duty, contractual mechanism and the integrity of the documentary record, makes the matter a useful worked example of how the extent of a developer's liability for defects is contested on appeal, and places him within the specialist field of housing and construction-defect litigation.
