The High Court has struck out blogger Leong Sze Hian’s counterclaim against Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, due to Mr Leong’s failure to disclose a “reasonable cause of action” in his counterclaim.
After hearing the striking out applications by both parties last month, Justice Aedit Abdullah delivered his judgment on Tuesday and struck out Mr Leong’s counterclaim. He said: In delivering his judgment, Justice Aedit Abdullah, cited the apex court’s decision in Lee Tat Development Pte Ltd v Management Corporation Strata Title Plan No 301 [2018] 2 SLR 866, which “rejected the tort of abuse of process as a recognised cause of action”.
