\nResidents of The Seaview condominium had alleged that there were numerous defects.
\nA $32 million lawsuit filed against four parties involved in the development of The Seaview condominium has been settled out of court, reported The Straits Times.
\nActing on behalf of the homeowners, the management corporation (MC) of the condominium filed the case in 2011 against developer Mer Vue Developments, which is a subsidiary of Wheelock Properties; RSP Architects Planners & Engineers; main contractor Tiong Aik Construction and engineering firm Squire Mech alleging defects, including falling concrete blocks, popping swimming pool tiles and foul odours.
\nThe $14 million damages sought at the time later grew to $32 million.
\nThe trial, which was meant to take place in the High Court, did not start last Tuesday as originally scheduled, since the MC had already settled its case against engineering firm Squire Mech. Separate settlements with RSP, Tiong Aik and Mer Vue were also reached, the terms of which were kept confidential.
\nThe settlement follows a High Court ruling in March that the architect, main contractor and developer can rely on the defence of the independent contractor. This effectively limited the amount of damages residents can receive in the event they win the case.
\nCompleted in 2008, The Seaview at Amber Road comprises six blocks of 546 condo units.
\n\u201cOur clients are happy that the case has been settled and can find closure on this chapter,\u201d said Melvin Chan, who acted for RSP.
