hoseh liao Case, NTUC kanna sue by 2 schools

[tioliaohuat]

TWO private schools have gone to court to claim about $10 million in losses which they say stemmed from their 23-day suspension from an accreditation scheme.

Stansfield College and the Singapore Institute of Commerce (SIC), both owned by Mr Kannappan Chettiar, are suing the Consumers Association of Singapore (Case) and insurer NTUC Income for what they say is a wrongful suspension.

At the centre of the suit is the CaseTrust for Education scheme administered by Case, a certification which private schools must get in order to enrol foreign students.

CaseTrust schools are required to protect all their foreign students' tuition fees under a student protection scheme (SPS). Both schools went for this protection with a policy from NTUC Income.

Between Nov 20 and Dec 13, 2006, Case suspended the two schools' CaseTrust memberships for failing to insure 479 of their foreign students.

The schools claim that the suspension dented their reputations and hit their bottom lines because students began pulling out as a result.

Don't be too happy yet, you know kangaroo court will always favour the pap side. Even if the matter is seriously CASE and NTUC fault, kangaroo will suggest outside settlement so as not to tarnish the two pap instituton names.
