Hotelier faces $2m legal cost for suit over $1.4m Rolls-Royce

Billionaire James Koh Wee Meng, the boss of Fragrance Hotel, faces legal costs of up to $2 million in the lawsuit against the local Rolls-Royce dealer.

Mr. Koh has lost the suit against the car dealer, claiming that the Rolls-Royce Phantom which he bought in 2008 was defective. He has up to 26^th June to file an appeal against the court's judgement in favour of Trans Eurokars, the authorised dealer for Rolls-Royce cars in Singapore.

The Straits Times reported that Trans Eurokars' legal fees amounted to $1.2 million, and Mr. Koh's own legal cost would be more, if not equal to that.
