Case Significance
JIF v JIG [2026] SGECT 3 concerned two related claims brought in the Employment Claims Tribunals, ECT/10265/2025 and ECT/10268/2025, in which the claimant sought a retrenchment benefit equivalent to one month's salary and a payment arising from employee share options, and separately alleged dismissal without just cause or excuse under s 14(2) of the Employment Act 1968, seeking reinstatement or compensation. Tribunal Magistrate Jared Kang Chern Wey heard the parties on 28 July 2025, dismissed both claims in an oral judgment on 19 August 2025, and issued full written grounds on 1 July 2026 because the case engaged a point of statutory construction concerning s 45 of the Employment Act. The decision drew on the Employment Act, the Employment Claims Act and the Evidence Act.
