Case Significance
Tjiang Giok Moy and another v Ang Jimmy Tjun Min (Citibank NA, non-party) [2024] SGHC 146 was decided by the General Division of the High Court of Singapore on 5 June 2024, in Originating Claim No 56 of 2022 (Summonses Nos 308 and 1189 of 2024), with judgment delivered by Kwek Mean Luck J. The defendant, Ang Jimmy Tjun Min, applied for an order for production of documents against a non-party, Citibank NA, in Summons No 308 of 2024 and for leave to amend that summons in Summons No 1189 of 2024. Citibank NA objected to the production order, and the claimants Tjiang Giok Moy and Ang Eileen also made submissions objecting to it. The court dismissed both summonses on 23 May 2024, and the issue addressed was whether the claimants, who were parties to the proceedings but not the subject of the production order, were entitled to costs; on the issue of standing, the judgment found that the claimants had locus standi to be heard, citing Xing Rong Pte Ltd v Visionhealthone Corp Pte Ltd [2010] 4 SLR 607.
