Its also too late now for the TS to deal with the COI agreement issues.

 

Its advisable for TS to settle the payments with the motoshop fast, maybe finish off the payments and sell the bike before the bikeshop tow back the back and sell it for him at a much lower price.

Is the so called "Agreement Letter" notarized ? Even if that letter was drafted by the best lawyer in Singapore, but it was not notarized, that letter will have little weight in the eyes of the law.

 

It doesn't work that way in Singapore.

 

What you have described is the function of notaries and notarised contracts exists in civil law jurisdictions, where the law recognises the notarised copy held by the notary as a valid proof of contract.

 

It doesn't work the same way in common law jurisdictions like Singapore, where each party keeps his own copy of the contract and that is good enough at law. Therefore, it is inaccurate to say that in Singapore, a contract that is not notarised has little weight.
