CHUAN SENG HUAT v LEE TZIN TZIN
8 cases cited
(2 SG, 6 foreign)
Catchwords
The requested documents are related to both pleadings and are relevant to the claims. The application by the RW has merits as it fulfilled the requirements under O 24 of the ROC 2012. The documents referred to are stated in the affidavits and pleadings. The application for discovery of documents under O 24 r 10 of the ROC 2012 is applied to documents referred to in the affidavit and pleadings. If the application was made to support a witness statement, not to support an affidavit or RH’s pleadings, it can be said it amounts to a fishing expedition. This Court is therefore satisfied that based on the facts of the case and also the pleadings of the Divorce Petition, the bank statements/accounts would avail the Court and the RW for a proper examination of the PH’s financial capacity, which is: “a material statement averred in the divorce petition in relation to the PH’s financial standing”
