Court Sets Aside S$175,000 Loan Judgment Against Woman After New Evidence of Husband's Payments Emerges
A Singapore District Court judge set aside a S$175,689 (≈US$137,300) loan judgment after the woman’s husband submitted new affidavit evidence showing he had transferred S$620,670 (≈US$484,000) to his mother, potentially covering the debt. The judge ruled that “triable issues” now exist, requiring a full trial rather than a summary judgment. The Family Justice Court lifted a restriction, allowing divorce‑related documents to be used in the loan dispute. The woman may raise a double‑recovery defence, arguing the mother‑in‑law has already been repaid.
