Common Group of Claims Heard in Small Claims Tribunals Over Past Five Years

Mr Melvin Yong Yik Chye asked the Minister for Law (a) whether the Small Claims Tribunals (SCT) has heard a common group of claims as per section 26 of the Small Claims Tribunals Act in the past five years; and (b) if so, whether there has been any group of claims that have been rejected as the total value of the claim exceeded the SCT’s prescribed limit of $20,000.

Mr K Shanmugam: We do not track the information that the Member has requested. We will explore with the Courts if they are able to collect such data.
