Practice Areas (from case appearances)

The Court of Appeal upheld the High Court’s decision finding Goh Choon Kim, Ong Ah Poh, Goh Choon Seang, and Goh Kim Heong guilty of contempt for breaching an injunction order that prohibited interference with the management and affairs of Global Tobacco Manufacturers (GTM). Their actions, including issuing termination letters and convening an EGM, were found to preempt the resolution of an ongoing suit. The court reaffirmed that disobedience of a court order constitutes contempt without requiring proof of interference with the administration of justice. The appeal against their conviction was dismissed, while the acquittal of Goh Kooi Cheng was upheld. 2
