On the court record
The Minister of Housing and Local Government, litigating judicial-review challenges to developer extensions of time for delivery of vacant possession, governed by the strict Order 53 time limit.
Menteri Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan (the Minister of Housing and Local Government) is the minister responsible for housing development, and it appears in the corpus as a respondent in judicial-review challenges to decisions granting developers extensions of time for the delivery of vacant possession. The matters are in the High Court.
The recurring subject is the ministry's power to grant extensions of time to a developer and the purchasers' standing and timeliness in challenging it. In one matter unit owners sought to challenge decisions approving three extensions of time for the delivery of vacant possession, noting that the first extension pre-dated the execution of the sale and purchase agreement. In others the extensions had been granted to a developer on account of the COVID-19 situation, and unit owners applied for leave to commence judicial review in respect of them. These matters go to the heart of the statutory scheme protecting house buyers, under which the controlling authority may relieve a developer of the strict delivery timeline and purchasers who lose their claim for liquidated damages as a result may seek to review that relief.
A dominant procedural theme is the strict time limit for judicial review. In more than one matter the Attorney General's Chambers objected that the leave application had been filed beyond the ninety-day limit in Order 53 rule 3(6) of the Rules of Court 2012, and applications for an extension of time to file for leave were required, some brought against the background of movement restrictions during the pandemic. The ministry was also the moving party in a striking-out under Order 18 rule 19(1)(d) on the ground of abuse of process, where the challenge duplicated pending civil suits. The ministry's footprint is a focused study in the judicial review of extension-of-time decisions under the housing-development scheme and the exacting time limits that govern access to that review.
