The teacher ran a 'side hustle' on Carousell, selling copies of the worksheets her daughter received from Concept Math Education Centre.
SINGAPORE: A teacher who enrolled her daughter in a highly acclaimed mathematics tuition centre began copying the worksheets her daughter received and selling them on Carousell for profit.
Judge Gui found that this had the opposite effect and enhanced Ms Aw's culpability, as she had"committed the wrongs despite her qualifications which would have acquainted her with the importance of academic integrity".According to the judgment, Concept Math Education Centre was founded by Ms Chuah Geok Lin, who had an accomplished teaching career before starting her business in 2013.
The defendant, Ms Aw, enrolled her daughter in Concept Math Education Centre's classes sometime before April 2021. Her daughter received worksheets for her enrichment. The tuition centre engaged someone to contact the Carousell account, indicating interest in buying worksheets that already had notes. The tuition centre also alleged that Ms Aw breached the terms of the tuition contract, and that she was acting in concert with third parties as part of a syndicate.
When Ms Aw did not meet these demands, the tuition centre commenced legal action, alleging copyright infringement and breach of the tuition enrolment contract. Ms Aw mounted a claim of harassment, alleging that the tuition centre had used"threatening, abusive and/or insulting words or behaviour" in its demand letters, threatening to disclose Ms Aw's copyright infringement to third parties.
