SOME 103 members of The Pines club have made good on their word. On Friday, they sued Exklusiv Resorts Pte Ltd, the owner of the now defunct The Pines club, and its director, motoring tycoon Peter Kwee, for alleged deceit, negligence, misstatement and breach of contract.
This came after the latter failed to deliver a renovated clubhouse at its Stevens Road vicinity as allegedly promised to club members, owing to the fact that the plot of land had changed hands to developer Oxley Holdings, who had built two Mercure and Novotel hotels on it.
