Case Significance
Reformd Pte Ltd v Kopigi Pte Ltd [2026] SGHC 175 was decided in the General Division of the High Court by S Mohan J on 28 August 2026. The claimant engaged the defendant under a Consultancy Agreement to prepare a Concept Design and a Schematic Design for a store for its intended mechanical keyboard business. The relationship broke down, and the defendant sent Termination Notices on 15 April 2024. The claimant alleged breach of porosity and expediency terms, and the defendant counterclaimed for sums including additional work and acceleration costs. The court held that neither term was established, and that the defendant wrongfully terminated with immediate effect instead of giving one week's notice under Clause 3.5.1. Because no loss was proved, the claimant received nominal damages of S$500, and the counterclaim was dismissed in its entirety, with costs to be heard separately.
