Part 14 published on 01/05/06
Restitution for material supplied to condominium corporation, even though no agreement
The condominium corporation decided to put on an event to celebrate the Chinese New Year and to run a public night market. One of the directors supplied labour and materials for the night market. The Court found, however, that the condominium corporation had not entered into any contract for supply of this work and materials. Even so, the Court said that the director was entitled to restitution. The Court’s decision included the following:
“The restitution to which I conclude the Plaintiffs are entitled would not afford them a profit; it would do no more then reimburse their reasonable costs of supplying the materials.” [The Plaintiffs were awarded no amount for their labour.]
