   ...Association and were appointed as its representatives. Issues 10. The issues I need to determine are: (a) Did the Q Association engage MC to carry out work regarding the Extractor Fan in exchange for a fee so that there was a contract of service formed? If so, has the Q Association breached that contract by refusing to pay the Invoice?

   ...Further comments include: “At some stage the accessway has also been widened to allow for vehicles passing. This has resulted in an increase in low permeable area, and the grass swales have been flattened and filled with limestone, altering the performance of the stormwater controls.” 30.

   ...infiltration incident, where he conceded that he may have missed a scheduled spray. 5. To support his claim that the insect infiltrations were caused by poor workmanship in the installation of the unit, KW provided evidence from B Ltd in the form of an email that states in part ‘The entry point of the sensor beam wire which came in through the back of the control box was not sealed.

   ...car the car works fine? 5. I find that KU did not make a misrepresentation when she meet with NC and clarified that the cars works fine, and that money would need to be spent on the car to get it road legal.

She said NC kept making low offers to buy the car and when doing so he would say that he didn’t know if there was any...

Duress has two fundamental elements: first, there must be the exe...
