    OLIVIA Lum Ooi Lin is staring at the possibility of legal action taken by the group of companies she founded as the beleaguered Hyflux group and its liquidators have lodged a lawsuit pre-emptively against her.

    The case was filed by the mainboard-listed water treatment company Hyflux, together with 35 subsidiaries as well as the 2 liquidators from Borrelli Walsh who are in charge of winding up the group, after failed attempts by Hyflux to stave off liquidation.

    A cause book search result showed that a writ of summons was filed in Singapore’s High Court on Mar 28, seeking a declaration against Lum with damages to be assessed. The cause book search result did not detail the declaration sought.
