Case Significance
Anurag Avula and another v MatchMove Pay Pte Ltd [2026] SGHC 123 is a General Division of the High Court decision delivered by Low Siew Ling JC on 10 June 2026, following a hearing on 2 June 2026, in Originating Application No 349 of 2026 (Summons No 1439 of 2026). The claimants, Anurag Avula and Lim Yen Ti, founders and former shareholders of e-commerce company Shopmatic Holdings Pte Ltd, resisted the defendant MatchMove Pay Pte Ltd's application to seal the entire case file on grounds that the claimants' supporting affidavit dated 30 March 2026 contained confidential and commercially sensitive information; Low Siew Ling JC dismissed the application to seal the whole file but ordered the affidavit itself sealed, with a redacted version to be made available for public inspection. The judgment cites 18 authorities (11 Singapore, 7 foreign) and the Supreme Court of Judicature Act, and has been cited once by a later case.
