Case Significance
Lim Soon Hing v Lim Beng Wee, Simon & Anor [2026] SGHC 144 was decided by Mohamed Faizal J in the General Division of the High Court on 14 July 2026 (Originating Claim No 487 of 2024). The claimant, an uncle of the first defendant, sold 1,050,000 shares in Supersonic Maintenance Services Pte Ltd under a written agreement for $900,000, and later asserted an oral agreement entitling him to a further Part 2 payment of $925,986, along with repayment of a $995,000 directors' loan. The issues included whether the oral agreement and a later variation were established, whether the written agreement should be set aside for fraud, and the remedies sought. The court held the oral agreement was not proved, and dismissed the claim in its entirety.
