Blueray Hypersonic April 17, 2021 Share April 17, 2021 In claim against AGC for compensation, Parti Liyani’s lawyer says prosecution made purposeless attacks on her Quote On Friday (April 16), lawyer Anil Balchandani said that these were all behaviours that show “improper motive” and are not befitting of the public prosecutor’s role as “ministers of justice”, when the prosecution should provide as much information as possible to assist the court to arrive at a correct decision — not to secure a conviction at all costs. “They wanted the court to see only what they felt was desirable for their case,” he added. Mr Balchandani was the defence lawyer for former domestic worker Parti Liyani, who was acquitted of stealing from the household of prominent businessman and former Changi Airport Group chairman Liew Mun Leong. He is now representing Ms Parti, 46, to seek S$10,000 compensation from the prosecution and the Attorney-General’s Chambers (AGC), in a first-of-its-kind application here.

Blueray Hypersonic June 21, 2021 Share June 21, 2021 High Court dismisses Parti Liyani's bid against AGC for $10,000 compensation Quote He noted that in Singapore's criminal justice system, it is not the case that an acquitted person is entitled as of right to compensation. He also noted that a prosecution does not become frivolous or vexatious just because the conduct of prosecutors was unacceptable. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/courts-crime/high-court-dismisses-parti-liyanis-bid-for-compensation-against-agc not unexpected ... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

inlinesix Supersonic June 21, 2021 Share June 21, 2021 (edited) Under Sec 359 (2), the claimant (Parti) has to prove: 1. Frivolous: A frivolous claim, often called a bad faith claim, refers to a lawsuit, motion or appeal that is intended to harass, delay or embarrass the opposition. 2. Vexatious: legal action which is brought solely to harass or subdue an adversary. Both cases were preceded by the same judge.
