In respect of the appellant's objection to that part of the award which requires the appellant to cooperate with the purchaser for regularising the deviation, all that can be said is that without such direction in the award, the rest of the award would have been nugatory. It is evident from the agreement of February 15, 2008 that not only did the purchaser agree to purchase the flat, but the design of the flat was captured in the sketch map appended to such agreement. When specific performance of such agreement was sought, it had to be in respect of the flat as covered by the sketch map appended to the agreement and none other. In other words, the arbitrator recognised the purchaser's rights to the flat adhering to the drawing appended to the agreement and, for such purpose, it is necessary to obtain the Corporation's sanction or approval for the deviation from the sanctioned plan. The award for specific performance would have been meaningless if the consequential direction for cooperation had not been issued on the owners. If the owners object before the Corporation to the deviation for which the purchaser will per force need to apply, the purchaser may never obtain the approval for such deviation.
