SINGAPORE: Medical services company Singapore Paincare has received letters of claim for between S$350,000 (US$272,200) and S$450,000 (US$350,000) allegedly owed, it says in a bourse filing.
Lawyers representing Lim Seow Yuen submitted two letters on Aug 6 and 7, claiming that she provided services to the company in 2020 due to “promises and assurances” allegedly made by Singapore Paincare chief executive Bernard Lee.
Lee informed the company about the letters on Aug 11, and denied the allegations.
He said the financial arrangements he made with Lim were in his “private capacity”.
He denied that the arrangements were made on behalf of the company for its listing on SGX Catalist.
“Accordingly, there is no basis for Lim’s claim against the company,” said Singapore Paincare lead independent director Wong Yee Kong in the filing.
“Dr Lee is confident that the company will succeed in its defence should Ms Lim bring proceedings.”
Singapore Paincare has also been indemnified for the claimed sums by Lee, subject to him taking charge of how the company defends the case and his provision of financial security to ensure he can pay. — The Straits Times/ANN
