Our Experience
- Representing a Management Corporation (previously Joint Management Body) in a claim against, amongst others, the developer and a subsequent purchaser to recover car park bays, centre spaces and hawker stalls as common property, together with damages, interest and costs. The MC contends that these areas are and ought to be common property under the management and ownership of the Management Corporation pursuant to the Building and Common Property (Maintenance and Management) Act 2007 (“”BCPA””). The suit raises novel issues on whether a developer of a commercial development can retain and sell the car park bays despite the BCPA defining car parks as common property, whether the developer’s strata titles are indefeasible and whether the JMB can commence a claim for common property during the period between the establishment of the MC and the convening of the 1st AGM of the MC.
