It looks like Clemen Chiang will be liable for hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in compensation if his appeal to the High Court against the Small Claims Tribunal judgments do not succeed. Although he did business under the name Freely Business School, this appears to be a sole proprietorship, not a limited company (to be sure, those interested should do a full Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority search at
https://www.psi.gov.sg/NASApp/tmf/TMFServlet?app=MYBIZFILE-DIR-ENTITY#ClientValidationSummary, and pay the necessary fees.)
If he had used a limited company, as most readers will know, only his company will be liable for its debts, and not him personally.

Is there any law that says if you sue a vendor, you cant move the case to Small Claims Tribunal to say legal cost?
ReplyDeleteI saw that the group of people suing True Spa opted to engage a lawyer. Would it have been better if they went to Small Claims Tribunal instead?
Subsequently, only if Small Claims Tribunal was not able to help them, they should then proceed to engage a lawyer.
I am a customer of True Spa. Everytime i go for an appointment, they try to sell me something.
ReplyDeleteThey sit me down on a sofa with a table that restricts my getting up and going out. In order to get up and go away, i need to get pass the sales consultant by asking her to get up also.
Does this constitute duress and undue influence if i entered a contract with them under such circumstances?
