The tussle for Cable & Wireless HKT may be over, but Singapore Telecommunication's (SingTel) battle with the Li family rages on.
A court hearing has been set for mid-March for a legal suit against SingTel brought by Japura Development, a Singapore property firm owned by Li Ka-shing.
Japura has engaged a London Queen's Counsel to sue state-linked SingTel for damages, and to force the state-linked phone giant to remove underground cables crossing one of its Singapore development sites.
Mr Li says he had no idea the cables were there when he paid the Singapore Government S$682 million (about HK$3.08 billion) for the site in 1997.
Japura began legal proceedings in October, alleging the cables were a form of trespass, and had held up pre-sales of luxury condominiums planned for the site.
A Singapore court has approved Japura's request for a QC and set a hearing date.
