The town council said the panel acts independently of its MPs, town councillors and management.
In its July 26 statement, AHTC said the panel’s terms of reference “establish it as a separate body from AHTC”.
The case has wound its way through the courts since then, with the Court of Appeal finding in a November 2022 judgment that the WP leaders and town councillors do not owe AHTC fiduciary duties and had acted in good faith in hiring FMSS. On July 24, the WP leaders and town councillors issued a joint statement together with AHTC and STC announcing that they had reached a settlement in the lawsuit.
When it was formed in 2016, the panel consisted of Senior Counsel Philip Jeyaretnam, Senior Counsel N. Sreenivasan and Mr Ong Pang Thye.
