Case Significance

In Shariffah Zaiton Binte Syed Agil Alsagoff v Rita Zahara Binte Mohamed Nazeer [2026] SGDC 127, decided 3 June 2026, Deputy Registrar Andrew Tan Shao Weng allowed the defendant's application (DC/SUM 336/2026) to set aside a default judgment entered against her in DC/OC 2302/2025, ordering that costs be in the cause. The claimant and defendant are related by kinship, with the defendant — a director of Li Da Foods Pte Ltd — being the claimant's sister-in-law; the claimant appealed solely against the cost order.
