1	Lim Seng Wah v Han Meng Siew: Oppression of Minority Shareholders & Breach of Contract 08 Sep 2016 Kwok Hong Wai (Plaintiff)Partial	08 Sep 2016	Kwok Hong Wai (Plaintiff): Successful in oppression claimPlaintiffs were successful in their oppression claim. The court ordered Han and Wang to purchase Kwok's shares in the Company at fair valuation. Lim and Heah are entitled to their costs in this action (including the counterclaim). Orders would have been made in their favour but for the fact that Han and Wang registered the transfers to Kwok after all the evidence had been taken. I therefore order Han and Wang to pay costs to Lim, Heah and Kwok fixed at $320,000 plus reasonable disbursements to be fixed by me if not agreed. Assumed SGD as the judgment originates from Singapore.
