Case Significance

Mizuho Bank, Ltd v Radiant World Corporation Pte Ltd [2026] SGHC 200 was decided in the General Division of the High Court by Kristy Tan J on 25 September 2026. In HC/OA 946/2026 Mizuho applied for Radiant World Corporation Pte Ltd, a Singapore metals and minerals trader, to be placed under judicial management, and in HC/SUM 2669/2026 for interim judicial managers pending that hearing. Three statutory demands, from Mizuho for US$97,281,235.05, from Deutsche Bank AG, Singapore Branch for US$102,592,409.03 and from Intesa Sanpaolo SpA for US$126,150,717.52 plus interest, had not been satisfied within three weeks. The issues were a prima facie case of inability to pay debts, the purposes of judicial management, the need to protect assets, and who to appoint. The court appointed four nominees of KPMG Services Pte Ltd as joint and several interim judicial managers.
