Chitchat You Can't Make Money From A Manhole.

A woman who sued national water agency PUB for $5 million after she fell into a manhole and accepted a confidential settlement offer on the fourth day of trial will have to pay overall legal costs of $30,000 to the national water agency.





Yesterday, the High Court awarded costs of $40,000 to Madam Chan Hui Peng, 47, for legal work done from the day she filed the suit in 2018 to the day the offer to settle was made by PUB on Nov 10 this year.


But Judicial Commissioner Andre Maniam also awarded PUB costs of $70,000, comprising $48,000 for three days of trial and $22,000 for two amendments Madam Chan made to her claim.


The chartered accountant filed a suit against PUB on Oct 15, 2018, claiming damages for injuries, including a fractured ankle and post-traumatic stress disorder that she allegedly suffered as a result of the accident in Simon Road, near Kovan, on Dec 1, 2015.


On Oct 5 this year, her claim was amended to include her recent diagnosis of schizophrenia as one of the injuries.




PUB accepted 70 per cent of the liability for the accident but disputed the nature and extent of her injuries.
 
Well I think to make her pay the legal cost is just a side show. Maybe PUB had paid her a few hundred or a few million.

So in order to Upkeep the image of government and court, she pay the bills for the legal proceeding to signify she lost her case. No one is suppose to claim from government.
 
Confidential settlement she received from PUB is a least a few million dollars, hence $30k is peanuts. Yes limpeh still want to try.:biggrin:


lol, make sure u break 2 legs, can get double windfall
 
Yeah you really think so
When one is seeking $5mil and is willing to settle, the settlement can't possibly be too far from that amount. She wouldn't have settled if PUB lowballed her.

Still looking high and low for an open man-hole!!!

This fucking cunt was play-acting to milk the compensation as much as possible. Should have settled with a $1 token compensation to her.
