JUDGMENT

Su Tiang Joo J:

Introduction

[1] The plaintiff's claim for real estate agency fees was allowed after a full trial. This Court found that the plaintiff was the effective cause for a tenancy agreement entered into between one of the defendant's subsidiary company and a special corporate vehicle set up by the party introduced by the plaintiff. Dissatisfied, the defendant appealed, and these are the full grounds for the decision made on 15 November 2024.

Plaintiffs Claim
