SINGAPORE - A company owned by hairstylist Addy Lee, who has trimmed the locks of local celebrities like Michelle Chia andMr Lee had signed a deal with businessman Tan Swee Meng to start a beverage business in Singapore. He also promoted the upcoming opening of the VivoCity store in an interview with a magazine.Instead, a business named Beyond Coffee started operations at the shop space in July 2020. It sold similar beverages – coffee infused with fruits and vegetables.
Shanghai Afute contended that Mr Tan and Stay Victory had misused its confidential Information and trade secrets as a “springboard” to unlawfully gain a head start in establishing the competing business. However, the judge dismissed the claim that the defendants had tried to pass off Beyond Coffee as being the same as After Coffee, or that it was associated with Mr Lee.
Mr Lee also noted that the court decision has “unequivocally vindicated my business partner, Ms Anna Ho, and I of the various false allegations made against us”.
