JUDGMENT

Lee Sweng Seng JCA:

[1] The nub of the complaint of the Purchasers by way of a challenge by judicial review ("JR") is directed against the decision of the Minister to grant a second extension of time of 17 months (from 42 months to 59 months) for the Developer to complete the units in the service apartments of a housing development ("the Units").

[2] There was a first extension not by the Minister but by the Controller of Housing ("Controller") for 6 months from contractual period of 36 months from the date of signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement ("SPA") to 42 months. However, this was not the subject of the challenge by the JR application.
