Receivers and Managers

Emas Kiara Sdn Bhd v Michael Joseph Monteiro & Ors; Farcoll Estate Sdn Bhd (Interveners) [2017] 3 CLJ 605

The Plaintiff sought specific performance of a contract for the sale and purchase of an abandoned township arising from an expression of interest conducted by the Receivers and Managers. The High Court found no contract on the evidence before it. The Court of Appeal reversed that finding but declined specific performance. The Receivers and Managers’ appeal to the Federal Court was successful and the High Court judgment was reinstated. Messrs Benjamin Dawson acted for the Receivers and Managers.
