Case Significance

Three Arrows Capital Ltd and others v Cheong Jun Yoong [2024] SGHC(A) 10 was decided by the Appellate Division of the High Court (Originating Application No 42 of 2023), with Valerie Thean J delivering the judgment of the court (sitting with Debbie Ong JAD) on 12 April 2024 after a hearing on 28 February 2024. The applicants were Three Arrows Capital Ltd, an investment fund in the business of trading in cryptocurrency, together with its joint liquidators Christopher Farmer and Russell Crumpler. They sought permission to appeal against a decision of a Judge of the General Division of the High Court who had dismissed their applications to set aside an order granting the respondent, Cheong Jun Yoong, permission for service of an originating claim out of Singapore, and to set aside that service. The court dismissed the application for permission to appeal.
