Key Points:- The court found no enforceable loan between the Plaintiff and Defendant companies; payments were personal advances for a share purchase rather than corporate loans (!) (!) (!) (!) .- Absence of formal documentation, board resolutions, repayment terms, or a demand for repayment undermined the claim (!) (!) (!) (!) (!) .- Contemporaneous documentary evidence (remittance forms, ledgers, and "Contra-2 Account") supported the view that payments were for a share investment or personal advances, not a loan (!) (!) (!) (!) (!) (!) .- The court applied an objective test for contracting parties, concluding the transaction was between individuals (Gan and Dato Chew) rather than between the Plaintiff and Defendant companies (!) (!) (!) .- Adverse inference was drawn against the Plaintiff for not calling the due diligence solicitor, supporting the view of a private arrangement (!) (!) .- The absence of formal demand for repayment over four years challenges the creditor’s conduct and supports no loan obligation (!) (!) .- The overall finding: no legally enforceable corporate loan; payments were advance proceeds for a private share purchase arrangement.Evidence supports that the Plaintiff failed to discharge the burden of proof.
