Case Significance
[2026] SGHC 135, decided by Wong Li Kok, Alex J on 22 June 2026, is a Registrar's Appeal from the State Courts (No 5 of 2026) brought by Management Corporation Strata Title No. 3564 against Edmund Motor Pte. Ltd. The appeal turned on whether the "2% Proxy Rule" in paragraph 17 of the First Schedule to the Building (Strata Management) Act 2004 — which caps a proxy's representation at the higher of 2 lots or 2% of a development's total lots — extends to representatives appointed under paragraph 16 by letters of authorisation. The court held that the 2% Proxy Rule applies only to proxies under paragraph 17 and not to paragraph 16 representatives, finding that the District Judge below had erred; the judgment cites 8 Singapore authorities.
