Summary

RVG Consulting sued Shanti Overseas for the return of a USD 100,000 loan extended in November 2018, of which USD 50,000 had been repaid. The defendant argued the remaining balance should be set off against a debt allegedly owed by the claimant to a third-party company, Aarel, pursuant to a tripartite set-off arrangement.
