Rotary Engg's bid to stay lawsuit to be heard on Feb 19

Singapore

THE High Court of Singapore will hear on Feb 19 an application filed by Singapore-listed Rotary Engineering to stay a lawsuit filed by Bahrain- based parties against the company over alleged breaches of contract involving work done in Saudi Arabia.

The Bahrain parties have sought for the lawsuit against Rotary to be heard in Singapore, but Rotary in a Sept 15, 2015 Singapore Exchange (SGX) announcement insisted the case be heard in Saudi Arabia "because Saudi Arabia is the country with which the purported contracts and the matters related to the suit have the closest connection".
