The case centers on a dispute between EnerNorth
Industries, an Ontario-based oil and natural gas company, and a
Singaporean company, Oakwell Engineering. In 1997, the two
companies entered a joint venture to build and operate two
barge-mounted electricity generating plants in India.

1.
The Singaporean High Court, and later the Singaporean Court of
Appeal, which is the final appellate court in Singapore, awarded
Oakwell the disputed amounts, full costs and interest amounting to
about $5.4 million.
As EnerNorth had no assets in Singapore, Oakwell applied to the
Ontario Superior Court to have the award enforced in Canada. Last
Aug. 2, the superior court ruled in Oakwell's favor.
even canadian court supported Spore court.
2.So far fetch
Still, EnerNorth's lawyers produced a number of affidavits from
its own experts, including Francis Seow, a former Singapore
solicitor general and judge turned prominent critic of the
government;
3.what did they want to imply?
Oakwell's lawyers said EnerNorth had in fact been represented by
a lawyer who witnesses said had strong links to the People's Action
Party, while Oakwell had been represented by Philip Jeyaretnam, the
son of the opposition figure.(JBJ)
Do they know
Philip Jeyaretnam's works have been widely adopted as
literature
in Spore secondary schools,like Abraham's Promise, First Loves (short
stories), Raffles Place ragtime
In which country will u find son of no.1 opposition
figure becme President of Law Society and one of
the
youngest Senior Counsel(equivalent to Queen's Councel).There are
only
some 35 SC in Spore out of some 3000 lawyers.
Right : Philip Jeyaretnam, the President of the Law Society, Mr
Philip Jeyaretnam, SC on Friday, 5 May 2006.
4.
The Ontario Appeals Court finished hearing the case in April and
under an informal six-month rule is likely to announce its decision
by the end of the summer, according to lawyers.
In spore,i think The Chief Judge will kick the Judges if they
takes
good 6 months to deliver the judgement.
Justice delayed is justice denied
