MCST Plan No. 4099 v TPS Construction Pte Ltd and others

This case update discusses the recent case of MCST Plan No. 4099 v TPS Construction Pte Ltd and others [2024] SGHC 149 (https://lnkd.in/gtWssxH3) where the High Court of Singapore found that a defects claim against a structural engineer was time-barred as the defects were discoverable more than 6 years prior to the commencement of the civil claim. The claim was therefore struck out.

This case has important implications for MCST, owners, and developers, who must take steps to determine the relevant deadline for commencing a defects claim and the relevant party against whom to make the claim.
