Nuance,
and your basing your whole thesis on this case going ahead on the 4th June, Lol oh dear heres some research you can go and do, its based on Singapore law and not trying to desperately prove Chaebol wrong.
Even if proceedings are stayed against Zheng and Choo and not Chong (a partial stay), their names will continue to appear on the case title, court filings, and hearing lists. The June 4 case conference will still reference the full case (Semnet Pte. Ltd. v Choo Seet Ee (Zhu Xue’er) & 2 Ors).
The law
Legal Basis (Singapore Rules of Court 2021)
* A stay of proceedings (whether under the court’s general case management powers in Order 3 Rule 2(2) or in the context of arbitration) pauses the progress of the action against the stayed defendants. It does not remove them as parties to the action.
* The case remains a single originating claim (HC/OC 143/2026) involving all named parties. Removing or dropping a party requires a separate formal step — such as an application to amend the pleadings, discontinue against specific defendants, or sever the claims (which creates a new file). A stay alone does not trigger this.
* Singapore courts routinely grant partial stays in multi-defendant cases (especially where some defendants are bound by arbitration agreements and others are not). In such cases, the action continues against the non-stayed party (here, likely Chong), but the original case title and party list remain unchanged.
