Mr Oei Hong Leong sought to get more than $6.1 million in special costs from developer Concord Pacific Acquisitions.
Singaporean billionaire Oei Hong Leong took four years to win a lawsuit in Canada filed against him by Canadian developer Concord Pacific Acquisitions over a C$500 million (S$510 million) waterfront property project in Vancouver.
He then sought to get more than C$6 million (S$6.1 million) in special costs from Concord, which argued that the hearing should wait until after its appeal against the main suit's decision.
