His civil and commercial litigation experience includes contested probate and estate claims, directors and shareholders' disputes, employment disputes and contractual claims. The landmark, notable and jurisprudentially significant cases that Tien Wah has led are many and includes (i) the seminal case of Yickvi Realty Pte Ltd v Pacific Rover Pte Ltd [2009] 4 SLR(R) 951 where he obtained an anti-suit injunction as a novel way of varying an easement of right of way, which then created an awareness in the lack of any statutory provision to cancel or vary easements in Singapore and this ultimately led to the enactment of section 105A of the Land Titles Act 1993 and section 34B of the Conveyancing and Law of Property Act 1886; (ii) Batshita International (Pte) Ltd v Lim Eng Hock Peter [1996] 3 SLR(R) 563 where he successfully argued in the Court of Appeal that a tenant had an equitable right to set off the damages that it has suffered as a result of the landlord’s breach of contract against the rent despite a covenant to pay rent without deduction; and (iii) Straits Colonies Pte Ltd v SMRT Alpha Pte Ltd [2018] 2 SLR 441 where he successfully persuaded the Court of Appeal to find against the weight of authorities that a party exercising a right of election is only required to know the facts giving rise to the right to rescind, and not the facts and the law giving the right to rescind.
