- HCB1001/2023
The petition is dismissed because the Debtor has raised bona fide disputes on substantial grounds — factual and legal — including whether the Warning Letter was sent/received, whether the short Contract Maintenance Requirements were reasonable in context, and whether an anti-recoupment implied term or estoppel prevents enforcement; the Creditor’s evidence lacked sufficient personal knowledge and the disputes require trial and viva voce evidence; accordingly the summary petition forum is inappropriate to resolve them; costs ordered nisi to be paid by Creditor.
