Apex court criticises Nicky Tan, lawyers from Rajah & Tann and Tan Kok Quan
Liquidator and litigators get sharp rebuke for misleading judges and having 'totally wasted' court's time
Singapore
EXPERIENCED liquidator Nicky Tan and litigators from reputable law firms Rajah & Tann Singapore and Tan Kok Quan Partnership have drawn a sharp rebuke from the apex court for misleading the five judges.
The court, in written grounds of decision released Thursday, chastised Mr Tan and his two colleagues in their capacity as court-appointed liquidators of Sembawang Engineers and Constructors (SEC), as well as their counsel from Tan Kok Quan, and lawyers from Rajah & Tann for proceeding with an appeal despite the parties having reached a settlement and not being forthcoming about it.
