Appeals Board (Land Acquisition)

Pre-Hearing Conference

Find out what happens at a Pre-Hearing Conference, where directions are set and parties may reach a settlement before the appeal is heard. With consent, lawyers can conduct these by email through the Registrar. You may also lodge a Notice of Withdrawal to cancel your appeal, with your deposit possibly refunded if the Collector of Land Revenue agrees.

Pre-Hearing Conference

The Registrar gives notice of a Pre-Hearing Conference (“PHC”).  At the PHC, directions may be given and orders may be made for the further conduct of the appeal. The PHC also provides you and/or your lawyer an opportunity to discuss issues relating to the appeal with the Collector of Land Revenue, so that a settlement or agreement may be arrived at. If you intend to proceed with an appeal, the Registrar may, at a pre-hearing conference, set necessary timelines for the exchange of affidavits and documents, and to fix a hearing date for your appeal, which will be heard by the Appeals Board..

e-Pre-Hearing Conference

Where parties are represented by lawyers and with their consent PHC may be conducted by email (“e-PHC”).

Lawyers using e-PHC should send an e-mail to ab_ephc@ab.gov.sg (opens in new tab) to give the Registrar an update of their case and state their request or application.
