Given that the pleaded facts are deemed admitted on default, and because of the close proximity in time and similarity of means of the three wire transfers, the court was satisfied there was a sufficient basis to infer concerted wrongdoing permitting judgment in default, to grant declaratory proprietary relief over the relevant funds, and to continue the Mareva injunction to secure enforcement of the proprietary remedy.

Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA545/1989

The Mareva injunction and the discovery order were discharged because material non-disclosure and material misstatements in the Plaintiff's ex parte affidavit were established and those facts were material to the court's balancing exercise; additionally there was no real risk of dissipation of the funds. The action was stayed on forum non conveniens grounds because Singapore was the clearly appropriate forum (parties domiciled and evidence located in Singapore; related matrimonial proceedings pending there) and substantial justice would be available in Singapore.
