What you need to know about Berger International’s legal case fiasco

Its subsidiary was sued by one unhappy customer last year, and the claim was dismissed by the High Court - but now the Court of Appeal just overturned this decision.

In February 2010, a customer sued BPS and claims that paint sold by BPS to the customer was defective and/or unfit for purpose. In December 2010, BPS announced that the Court has dismissed the Claim and allowed the counterclaim by BPS against the customer of S$72,677 for outstanding amounts owed by the customer.

Now, in a release, the company announced that that the Court of Appeal of the Republic of Singapore has overturned the decision of the High Court in respect of the Claim, with the amount of damages due from Berger Paints Singapore or BPS to the customer to be assessed at a later date. BPS is considering its options in view of the decision of the Court of Appeal and the Company will make an appropriate announcement in due course.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
