Case Significance

In Lee Yih Kang v Hsu Shih Hsun [2026] SGHC(A) 9, decided on 1 April 2026, the Appellate Division of the High Court (Justices of Appeal Woo Bih Li, Debbie Ong Siew Ling, and See Kee Oon) dismissed Lee Yih Kang's appeal against a statutory demand of A$1,507,276.71 served on 26 March 2025. The demand arose from Lee's guarantee, under a deed dated 15 February 2025, of a debt owed by Infinity Capital Group Limited to Hsu Shih Hsun. Lee argued duress and invalid execution of the deed, but the court found he had failed to raise triable issues on either ground, affirming the judge below and dismissing the appeal with costs fixed at S$32,000 inclusive of disbursements.
