Capajet Pte. Ltd. v EV Technology Pte. Ltd. & 3 Ors

Case Significance

Capajet Pte Ltd v EV Technology Pte Ltd and others [2026] SGHC(A) 16, decided by the Appellate Division of the High Court on 14 May 2026 with Justice Debbie Ong Siew Ling JAD delivering the judgment (sitting with See Kee Oon JAD), addressed permission-to-appeal applications arising from decisions on summary judgment and striking out in HC/OC 834/2024. The underlying action was Capajet Pte Ltd's claim against EV Technology Pte Ltd for sums due under a loan agreement. In a counterclaim, EV Technology Pte Ltd, Kwek Yan Ping, SEV Smart Pte Ltd, and SEV Holding Pte Ltd sued Capajet and six others including Zhao FeiYan, Geoffrey Owen Cassidy, and TG Holdings HK Ltd. The Appellate Division examined whether permission to appeal is required against orders on summary judgment and striking out, consolidating two separate originating applications (AD/OA 2/2026 and AD/OA 5/2026) for that purpose. Capajet and Zhao FeiYan were represented by Narayanan Sreenivasan and Jerrie Tan Qiu Lin of Sreenivasan Chambers LLC and Eugene Thuraisingam Asia LLC; the respondents by Sankar S/O Kailasa Thevar Saminathan and Tessa Low Wen Xin of Sterling Law Corporation.
