Case Significance
Ngai Nai Ping Jango v Banshing Industrial Co (Pte) Ltd [2026] SGDC 277 was decided by District Judge Jonathan Ng Pang Ern in the District Court on 1 September 2026, in District Court Originating Claim No 144 of 2025. The claimant, employed as chief financial officer under an employment contract dated 12 August 2022 with a basic salary of $20,000 per month and an annual performance bonus of $100,000, claimed the bonuses for 2023 and 2024. The issues were breach of contract, fraudulent misrepresentation, negligent misrepresentation and estoppel by representation. The judge found the criteria for the bonus were never agreed during probation, that the claimant had not proven the alleged representations by Albert, and that estoppel by representation is not a cause of action. The claim was dismissed.
