Soon Yien was one of the founding members of our law practice and now
heads up the Civil Litigation department. She is an experienced litigator of
25 years standing. She has acted as counsel in a wide variety of commercial,
property and chancery litigation work involving property law, complex
conflict of law issues, shareholder disputes, derivative actions, limitation
periods, contentious probate matters, trademark cases, distributions of
assets in family disputes, letters of credit cases and disputes in enbloc
transactions.
She has made her mark in taking novel legal arguments not only to courts of
original jurisdiction but to appellate courts including the Court of Appeal.
Some landmark cases include acting for a foreign corporation in expunging a
registered trademark which was heard in the Court of Appeal and subsequently
cited as precedent for trade mark cases; successfully acting for a seller in a
landmark property case which was also heard in the Court of Appeal and set the
law on whether unauthorized works to properties constituted defect in title;
acted successfully in an environment issue avoiding forfeiture orders which
relied on a lacuna in the Environmental Public Health Act which subsequently led
to an amendment to the said Act and the judgement was reproduced in an eminent
publication of the then Singapore Chief Justice Yong Pung How; successfully
defended in the Court of Appeal the principle that fraud vitiates all but not a
judgement in rem relied on by bona fide purchasers of real estate without
notice. A full and detailed write up of her work experience can be made
available on request.
