Case Significance

Re Boldtek Holdings Ltd [2024] SGHC 98 was an ex tempore judgment delivered by the General Division of the High Court of Singapore on 8 April 2024, in Originating Application No 170 of 2024 and Summons No 486 of 2024, with Goh Yihan J presiding. The applicant, Boldtek Holdings Limited, a public company limited by shares incorporated on 5 October 2012, applied for a judicial management order under Part 7 of the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018 (2020 Rev Ed) (the "IRDA"). Concurrently, in Summons No 486 of 2024, Boldtek applied for an interim judicial management order under s 92 of the IRDA in the event the court reserved its decision on the main application.

Goh Yihan J recorded that there had been no objection to either application as of the date of the hearing. Having heard counsel for Boldtek and considered the documents, the court allowed Originating Application No 170 of 2024 and made the judicial management order, with the result that there was no need to grant an interim order in Summons No 486 of 2024. Boldtek was represented by Aquinas Law Alliance LLP, with other firms appearing for interested parties including Allen & Gledhill LLP, Rajah & Tann Singapore LLP and Shook Lin & Bok LLP. The judgment referenced the Companies Act and the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act.
