Catchwords

This is the Plaintiff's claim as the Joint Management Body of D'Pines Condominium (JMB) against the 1st and 2nd Defendants, who are the co-proprietors of Unit A-3A-18. The Plaintiff's claim concerns renovations, installations and structures allegedly carried out by the Defendants without prior written approval of the Plaintiff. The Defendants deny the claim. In substance, they contend that the disputed works were approved or permitted by the Developer and MPAJ, as reflected in subsequent correspondence. They also counterclaim against the Plaintiff and the Developer, among other things, for the alleged failure to construct a planter box and the alleged wrongful refusal to approve works relating to their unit. After a full trial, I allowed the Plaintiff's claim, granted the declaratory and injunctive reliefs sought, directed that damages be assessed separately, and dismissed the Defendants' Counterclaim.
