Practice Areas
Abstract 1 Tay Siok Hwee co-owned property 50-50 with the first defendant. During the defendants' divorce proceedings, a consent judgment awarded the entire property to the second defendant if unsold within one year. The plaintiff was not notified or involved in these proceedings. The High Court granted summary judgment for the plaintiff, declaring the consent judgment provision null and void. The court ruled that: (1) the divorce court lacked jurisdiction over the plaintiff's property since she wasn't a party; (2) the judgment was obtained through fraud by concealing the plaintiff's ownership; (3) affecting a non-party's rights without notice violated natural justice; and (4) property rights cannot be extinguished without due process. 1 Keywords 1 Property rights; consent judgment; natural justice; matrimonial property; co-ownership; fraud; summary judgment; third-party rights; divorce proceedings 1
