Case Report by Diana Moise, Editor Ignacio Torterola

Summary

The Singapore High Court rejected Plaintiffs' application to serve an Enforcement Order on Lesotho by posting it at the address of Lesotho's solicitors in Singapore. Under the State Immunity Act s 14(1), any document required to be served for instituting proceedings needs to be served at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Court decided that an Enforcement Order qualifies as such a document.
