Xiamen Tonghin Furniture Industries Co Pte Ltd v Goh Heng Tee

A Singapore company sought summary judgment to recognise and enforce a Chinese court judgment for approximately RMB 11.8 million against a Singapore resident. The defendant resisted on the ground of breach of natural justice, arguing he was not properly served through the Hague Service Convention. The court granted summary judgment, finding that service through the defendant's Chinese lawyer and by registered mail to his Singapore address constituted proper service under both Chinese and Singapore law.
