PropNex Realty changes law firm in ‘99-to-1’ suit to avoid conflict of interest

[SINGAPORE] Property agency PropNex Realty has changed its law firm to Rajah & Tann in the “99-to-1” lawsuit to avoid conflict of interest as one of its agents is also being sued.

Previously, Withers KhattarWong represented the property agency and its agent Ian Sng, and had filed defences for both against claims from the claimant Melvin Li.

Both the agent and the agency had disputed Li’s allegations and claims in their defences filed in February, with PropNex Realty denying that it should be made responsible for its fellow defendant’s acts.
