Facts of the Case

Background

The plaintiff contracted the defendant to supply and fix industrial interlocking rubber tiles at its workshop for US$27,260-29 with a 3-year warranty. Within 3 months the tiles started lifting due to poor workmanship and quality issues. Despite multiple attempts to rectify the defects, the problem persisted until the plaintiff removed the tiles in July 2011 and sued for a refund.
