War of words
We are taken aback by the information that your agreements with the purchasers to extend the time of completion of the 24 units were verbal and by your apparent ambivalent attitude towards the completion of the sales
Lands Department, March 25
The dates and payments of the buyers are 'commercially sensitive information' and the verbal agreement to extend completion of sales is 'simply a goodwill forbearance commonly adopted by developers'
Henderson Land, March 31
As previously advised that in line with the industry practice, we will deal with interest on late payment of the second and/or third instalments at the time of completion of these transactions
Henderson Land, May 10
We have no evidence to show that it is 'industry practice' for a vendor not to explicitly reserve its right to charge interest
Lands Department, May 26
We assume that you are familiar with the information requested and therefore this time limit (seven days to reply) is not unreasonable
Lands Department, May 4
We are disappointed that you have continued to impose a time limit for our reply ... we reiterate that our resources are not unlimited
Henderson Land, May 10
