Guest writer, Annabel Tan, shares with us the Court of Appeal decision in the Bluedream case dealing with whether the Minister can extend time or not.
The Court of Appeal in Bluedream City Development Sdn Bhd v Kong Thye & 184 others and 5 other appeals (grounds of judgment dated 24 January 2022) decided that the Minister has the power to grant an extension of time to a housing developer to deliver vacant possession. The Court of Appeal distinguished an earlier Federal Court decision.
