SINGAPORE – A move by the Aljunied-Hougang Town Council (AHTC) to amend its claims in a long-running court case is “prejudicial” and an abuse of the court process, said lawyers representing town councillors from the Worker’ Party.
WP chief Pritam Singh, party chairman Sylvia Lim and former party chief Low Thia Khiang, along with the two other town councillors who were taken to court by the town council, have opposed the amendment, in submissions released online on Monday (Aug 3).
The five defendants noted that the trial is already over, and judgment has already been delivered.
They also said the amendments AHTC wants to make are intended to take advantage of the orders made in the High Court judgment released last October, which also covered a parallel lawsuit brought by the Pasir Ris-Punggol Town Council (PRPTC) against the five defendants and others.
This is the latest development in the court case, which is now before the Court of Appeal.
