The Authority and High Court correctly upheld that the Chief Executive was entitled to recover the gross amount because s 83A of the Social Security Act 1964 (given retrospective effect by the 2005 Amendment) governs source deduction payments; the appellant's challenges were a collateral re-litigation of issues already decided against him (including by the Court of Appeal in Goh), amounting to abuse of process, and the newly produced internal documents have no legal effect to displace the statutory regime and binding precedent.
