Singtel bags $1.7mln award cable dispute in court
Court upheld Singtel's breach of contract counter-suit to Sin Lian Heng.
Singapore Telecommunications Ltd., Southeast Asia’s largest phone company, won a S$1.7 million award in a cable dispute with a contractor.
Sin Lian Heng Construction Pte sued SingTel in 2006 over unpaid bills for work on the phone company’s cable ducting network. SingTel countersued, claiming Sin Lian Heng breached the contract and wrongfully kept the cables.
Justice Lee Seiu Kin dismissed Sin Lian Heng’s claim and ruled in favor of SingTel, in an Aug. 2 decision, released on Friday.
SingTel’s award takes into account a S$2 million settlement with Sin Lian Heng for the unpaid bills, Lee said. Both companies have appealed the ruling, Lee said.
