JUDGMENT

A. Background Facts

[1] The present appeal before us is an appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the appellant's Judicial Review Application against the Tribunal Tuntutan Pembeli Rumah ("the 2nd Respondent / TTPR") to impose Late Payment Interest ("LPI") against one Teoh Kok Seng ("the appellant / Purchaser") for the delay in the disbursement of the Financier's Loan for the first progress billing issued by Heesland Sdn Bhd ("the 1st Respondent / Developer").

[2] It is the appellant's case that he had been unlawfully imposed the LPI for delays that he had no hand in at all. On the contrary, the 1st Respondent merely adopted a deflective stance (not against the appellant) but to blame the delay against the solicitors' firm, Messrs Ong and Partners who the 1st Respondent insisted were representing the Financier and not them, the Developer.

[3] For a better understanding of the matter at hand, it is necessary to set out the facts of the case that has led to the present appeal.
