Case Significance

Marsh (Singapore) Pte Ltd v Lee Alaric [2026] SGHCR 21 is a General Division of the High Court decision delivered by Assistant Registrar Ramu Miyapan on 10 June 2026, following a hearing on 10 April 2026, in Originating Claim No 1040 of 2025 (Summons No 888 of 2026). The claimant, Marsh (Singapore) Pte Ltd, sought leave, via an application filed 20 March 2026, to amend its Statement of Claim dated 15 December 2025 against its former Managing Director, Lee Alaric, who had resigned on 19 September 2025 after roughly five months in the role; the defendant characterised this as a second bite at the cherry following an unsuccessful interim injunction application before Justice Hoo Sheau Peng, but the amendment was allowed. The judgment cites 7 authorities, 6 of them from Singapore.
