Minibonds investors attend seminar in preparation for class action suit
Channel NewsAsia - 1 hour 36 minutes ago
SINGAPORE: Some 200 investors of the failed Lehman Brothers’ minibonds have met to plan a collective lawsuit against financial institutions who sold them the products.
A seminar was organised Tuesday evening to work out the details and costs of a class action suit.
Tham Wai Wan, 60, received the bad news last month that DBS Bank is not compensating her for her Lehman—related investment, High Notes Five Series.
A letter sent by the bank said there was no mis—selling in the retiree’s case, even though Madam Tham says her husband and her invested S$125,000 not knowing the risks involved.
She said: "We’re simple and gullible folks. I’ve not met or spoken to DBS officers over the phone. I hope they meet me and reopen my case."
And she says she cannot afford the S$5,000 to take up a collective lawsuit against the bank.
The lawyer looking into the cases says a class action suit typically takes about nine to 12 months to complete.
It is also likely to be a multi—million dollar lawsuit filed in the High Court.
Singapore’s central bank has advised investors to seek legal action as a last resort only after seeking resolution with the banks or with the Financial Industry Disputes Resolution Centre (FIDReC).
