    Can a purchaser seek legal recourse if a developer abuses termination powers?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Yes, Article (11) explicitly states that the administrative procedures for termination do not prevent a purchaser from having recourse to courts or arbitration. This is specifically allowed if the developer abuses any of his powers under the interim register law. Purchasers can also seek termination if the developer materially deviates from specifications or if the unit is unfit for use. This ensures that the developer's right to manage defaults does not override the purchaser's fundamental legal rights.
