Case Significance

BP Projects Pte Ltd v One Wind Pte Ltd and others [2026] SGHC 105, decided by Justice Wong Li Kok, Alex of the High Court General Division on 14 May 2026, concerns a claim by BP Projects Pte Ltd (GST-registered since the 1990s) against five defendants — One Wind Pte Ltd, Jueltech Trading Pte Ltd, Ong Kian Meng, Ong Kian Seng, and Adeline Yeo — for losses suffered through an alleged GST missing trader fraud. The claimant alleged that the defendants orchestrated a scheme exploiting the non-payment of GST and the claiming of GST refunds in transactions involving handphones and peripheral equipment. BP Projects brought claims in both fraudulent misrepresentation and unlawful means conspiracy. Derek Tan Chang Shen, Reuben Tan Wei Jer, and Teh Ryan Christopher Wei Jun of Quahe Woo & Palmer LLC acted for the claimant; Kishan Pratap of Kishan Law Chambers LLC acted for the defendants. The case, tried on 22–23 October 2025 and 16 January 2026, provides an illustration of how civil claims in misrepresentation and conspiracy can follow from GST fraud allegations.
