Case Significance
On 23 April 2026, Tan Siong Thye SJ of the High Court General Division dismissed an application by claimant Wang Meiping for a worldwide Mareva injunction (or in the alternative a domestic Mareva injunction) restraining defendant Huang Yilong from disposing of or diminishing assets up to US$2 million. Wang Meiping, an Australian citizen, had filed HC/OC 753/2024 against Huang Yilong, a former bank employee who had been her relationship manager from around April 2016. The Mareva summons (HC/SUM 437/2026) was heard on 20 February 2026 and judgment reserved. A concurrent issue arose from an earlier decision by Lee Seiu Kin SJ in HC/RA 156/2025, which had set aside a default judgment against Huang Yilong; Wang Meiping also sought an interim injunction pending her appeal against that decision.
The judgment engages the two core requirements for Mareva relief — a good arguable case and a real risk of asset dissipation — and declines to find either satisfied on the facts. The Moneylenders Act was among the statutes considered. Wang Meiping was represented by Leong Zhen Yang and Pang Khin Wee of I.R.B. Law LLP; Huang Yilong was represented by Kesavan Nair, Dorothy Grace Tan Jun Wen, and Jonathan Wong Yong Zhi of Bayfront Law LLC.

Summary
Wang Meiping, who claimed to have lent defendant Huang Yilong US$3m pursuant to two 2018 loan agreements, applied for a worldwide Mareva injunction up to US$2m to restrain the defendant from dissipating assets pending her originating claim, as well as an interim injunction pending her appeal against a prior order setting aside a default judgment. The key issue was whether there was solid evidence of a real risk of asset dissipation.
