Case Significance

Rashmi Bothra v SuntecCity Thirty Pte Ltd and others [2023] SGCA 38 is a decision of the Court of Appeal, with the grounds delivered by Kannan Ramesh JAD sitting with Judith Prakash JCA and Belinda Ang Saw Ean JCA, on 8 November 2023 in Civil Appeal No 6 of 2023. The appeal arose from Companies Winding Up No 234 of 2022, in which the High Court judge made a winding-up order against SuntecCity Thirty Pte Ltd under s 125(1)(i) of the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018 but declined Rashmi Bothra's nominees as liquidators, appointing instead the nominees of private trustees Jason Aleksander Kardachi and Patrick Bance. Rashmi appealed against that choice of liquidator, framing the case around the court's approach to the appointment of a liquidator.
