- Represented a company in a successful High Court claim brought against a new developer of a condominium project for delivery of car parks. The company had entered into sale and purchase agreements with a previous developer whose rights and liabilities were subsequently taken over by the new developer via Deeds of Novation. The central issues in this case were whether the company was contractually entitled to car parks and whether specific performance could be ordered against the new developer. The High Court delivered judgment in favour of the company both in terms of entitlement to, and delivery of, car parks. The said judgment was later upheld by the Court of Appeal.
- Liaised extensively with a forensic document examiner in High Court proceedings to determine if the defendant had authored signatures found in several questioned documents. The matter involved cross-border expert evidence prepared by both a local and foreign forensic document examiner.
- In a post companies winding up matter, we brought a successful application on behalf of the Petitioner to pose written interrogatories to former employees of the wound-up company. The public examination application was brought pursuant to section 502 of the Companies Act 2016 and was filed on the basis that the former employees had relevant knowledge that would help address various issues raised by the former directors of the wound-up company.
