Man takes grandma to court
A court had ruled earlier that he is rightful owner
By K.C. Vijayan, Law Correspondent
A 25-YEAR-OLD who successfully took his paternal grandmother to court over ownership of a three-room flat in Bedok Reservoir is now suing her for contempt of court. Mr Garry Chee had taken 87-year-old Madam Foo Eng Ngoh to court nearly a year ago.
At issue: Who owns the flat.
Mr Chee said he was the sole heir, and had inherited the home from his late father. But Madam Foo claimed it was part of the joint matrimonial property in which she had a share, despite her not being named.
The court ruled that Mr Chee was the rightful owner. But Madam Foo dug in and refused to hand over the keys and title deed when her grandson sought to claim what was rightfully his.
Now, Mr Chee, who wants to sell the flat to realise his dream of studying in Australia, has again turned to the law: He wants a court to rule that his grandmother is in contempt of its earlier order.
