In Meow Moy Lan and Others v Exklusiv Resorts Pte Ltd and Another [2021] SGHC 155, the Singapore High Court considered claims by a group of members of a social club against the club’s owner and its indirect shareholder arising from the relocation of the club’s facilities. The Court dismissed the majority of the 170 members’ claims, which were brought via representative proceedings. Although the Court allowed the claim for breach of contract, it awarded nominal damages to the members as they had failed to prove that they had suffered loss as a result of the breach.
The club’s owner and its indirect shareholder were represented by Vikram Nair and Foo Xian Fong of Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP.
