On the court record
Hoi Jack S'ng appears in the corpus in banking, property and civil-procedure disputes, argued in the High Court (Mahkamah Tinggi) and the Court of Appeal (Mahkamah Rayuan). One Court of Appeal matter, appearing for the respondent, arose from a foreclosure: land had been charged to a finance company by a third-party chargor as security for a revolving credit facility granted to a borrower, the borrower defaulted, an order for sale was obtained, and the borrower was then liquidated; the issue was whether a statutory Form 75 that did not state the borrower's indebtedness, and the existence of a surplus in the relevant account, meant that the chargor owed no liability to the lender. A second matter, in the High Court and appearing for the defendant, was an application by management and developer defendants to strike out a plaintiff's writ and statement of claim under limbs (a), (b) or (d) of Order 18 rule 19(1) of the Rules of Court 2012. A third matter, in the High Court and appearing for the plaintiff, was an application to amend a writ and statement of claim to reflect a change in a defendant's name — from a sole proprietorship to a partnership sharing the same audit-firm number — which required the court to consider whether the application had been made with inordinate delay, whether a reasonable explanation had been given, whether the amendment was a tactical manoeuvre, and whether, engaging sections 11 and 19(1) of the Partnership Act 1961, the change was merely technical or substantive, all within the modern case-management framework in which the court is an active manager of proceedings. The foreclosure appeal is a good example of how a technical defect in the statutory forms, and the accounting position between borrower and chargor, can determine whether a third-party security holder remains liable at all once the borrower has been wound up. Across the appearances the practice combines the enforcement of security and the mechanics of foreclosure with the discipline of pleadings and the correct identification of parties.
