: at [18] and [19]. 8 Although the defendants had sought for “an order that the Plaintiffs not be allowed to bring any other action or claim in respect of the same subject-matter as the Withdrawn Claims (whether in Singapore or any other jurisdiction)”, it was not appropriate for the Court to make this order because it was unclear how such an order could be enforced by the plaintiffs who were not resident in Singapore.

In the present case, the evidence, including the affidavits

give him 50% of the Inheritance (“the purported promise”).  He further claimed  that  pursuant to the purported promise, the plaintiff had  given  him the  cash  portion of the Inheritance  as the equivalent of  the 50%  she had  promised.  He explained that this was because  the Inheritance also comprised non-cash assets which could not be  readily  liquidated.  The cash portion of the Inheritance was therefore the proxy for the value of the purported promise.  According to the first defendant,  the

;3213,  when I granted the  first  defendant’s application to cross-examine the plaintiff, that it is extremely difficult for the court to discern the truth from the affidavit evidence.  It  is  unfortunate that the plaintiff had not applied to cross-examine the first defendant in OS 1446. Therefore, Suit 1048 will be the best forum to serve the ends of justice and for the truth to be precipitated. For these reasons, I grant  SUM 2628 and dismiss  SUM 2629.  The first  defendant’s counterclaim in OS 1446 is stayed

it conflicts with an earlier foreign judgment recognised under the private  international law of the forum.  In fact, in  Summons No 5284 of 2017, the AR  hearing the application  had already found that  WIAR Limited  was  estopped  from  suing  PT Bank  in respect of the  WestLB Claim  as the 2014 Indonesian Judgment was a final and conclusive judgment on the merits. This decision was upheld by the High Court on  appeal.  I therefore found the WestLB Enforcement Claim to be legally unsustainable  as
