Case Significance

XWV v XWW [2026] SGHCF 17, decided by Teh Hwee Hwee J on 4 June 2026 following hearings on 15 April and 5 May 2026, was a District Court Appeal (No 116 of 2025) in which the Wife, XWV, sought to set aside a consent order requiring her to repay moneys to the Husband, XWW, as part of a global settlement of ancillary matters reached after the couple's marriage in August 2016; the Husband was 41 and the Wife 32, with one child aged eight.
