JUDGMENT

Lim Chong Fong JCA:

Introduction

[1] These appeals concern yet another of the many land scam cases.

[2] The parties to the appeals are, and shall hereinafter be referred to, as follows for clarity and convenience:

A. Civil Appeal No.: P-01(NCVC)(W)-480-07/2022 ("Appeal no 480")

B. Civil Appeal No.: P-01(NCVC)(W)-481-07/2022 ("Appeal no 481")

[3] At the hearing of the appeal on 28 April 2025, we were informed that Tang had been adjudged a bankrupt on 18 March 2021 and remained an undischarged bankrupt at the time he lodged his notice of appeal. As he was incompetent to maintain the appeal, we accordingly struck out his appeal. We thereafter proceeded to hear both of the remaining complex appeals together, but reserved our decision to consider the arguments advanced by the parties.

[4] Having now done so, we deliver our decision together with the supporting grounds.
