i am not familiar with SG's law, but base on my understanding of
America's law, they can bring him to Small Claims Tribunals.
Jurisdiction of the Small Claims Tribunals
The Tribunals have jurisdiction to hear claims not exceeding
$10,000, where the claims relate to disputes arising from:
1. a contract for the sale of goods; or
2. a contract for the provision of services; or
3. tortious damage to property (but not including damage arising in
connection with motor vehicle accidents)
Where the Claimant and the Respondant consent in writing, the
jurisdiction can be raised to $20,000. (Memorandum of
Consent)
All claims must be lodged or filed at the Small Claims Tribunals
within one year from the date on which the cause of action
accrued.
Bringing A Claim in the Tribunals
The procedure for bringing a claim in the Tribunals is very simple.
For more information on bringing a claim, please refer to the
"Claim Procedures:- A to Z of Bringing a Claim in the Small Claims
Tribunals" option.
Lawyers are not permitted to represent any of the parties in
proceedings before the Tribunals. Unless the Tribunals decide that
a claim is either vexatious or frivolous, costs are not awarded to
the winning party.
To lodge or file a claim at the Tribunals, a party is required to
pay a lodgment fee. The applicable lodgment fees are as
follows:
Not exceeding $5,000 Exceeding $5,000 but not exceeding $10,000
Exceeding $10,000 but not exceeding $20,000
Consumer $10 $20 1% of claim amount
Non-consumer $50 $100 3% of claim amount
