HER LADYSHIP JUSTICE ANANDA J. AIKINS (MRS).<o:p></o:p>

</div>&nbsp;RULING
ON MOTION FOR STAY OF EXECUTION ON GARNISHEE PROCEEDING<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;This
application is a request by the defendant/applicant for an order staying
execution of the garnishee proceeding initiated by the plaintiffs/respondents
on the ground that the writ of summons and its attached list of plaintiffs
reveal errors and fraudulent misrepresentations on the part of the plaintiffs. The
applicant also says that it had filed a writ against the plaintiffs herein to
set aside the summary judgment of this Court which is dated 30th
October, 2019. <o:p></o:p>The
plaintiffs/respondents are opposed to this application on the ground that the
application is only resorted to by the defendant/applicant to deny the plaintiffs
their legitimate claims. <o:p></o:p>The
Court has considered the affidavits of both parties and the submissions of both
learned counsel and the Court is of the opinion that since the complaints of
the defendant/applicant is in respect of only nine plaintiffs out of the lot of
84, the parties herein and their counsel are to put their heads together and
scrutinise the list provided by the plaintiffs to identify those who are not
entitled to the payment of the long service award for their names to be taken
out of the list. The parties are to report the outcome of such a meeting to the
Court.<o:p></o:p>In
the meantime the garnishee proceeding is stayed pending the outcome of the
meeting between the plaintiffs and the defendant. There is no award of cost in
this application.<o:p></o:p>(SGD)<o:p></o:p>JUSTICE ANANDA J. AIKINS (MRS)<o:p></o:p>JUSTICE
