The High Court has set aside a $10 million default judgment against an Australian-Chinese tycoon for alleged casino debts and allowed his appeal to enter his defence and contest the case in a court trial.
Marina Bay Sands (MBS) casino had sued China-born businessman Wang Zhi Cai in the High Court and obtained the default judgment on June 12, 2017, after he failed to appear in court. The casino also obtained a Sydney court order to enforce the Singapore judgment against his assets in Australia.
