Amutha Valli ordered to pay S$372,000 in costs in exorcism case

Madam Amutha Valli Krishnan who lost her exorcism law suit against the Novena Church has been ordered to pay costs and disbursements amounting to some S$372,000.

Madam Amutha Valli Krishnan will have to pay the six churchgoers she tried to sue unsuccessfully, more than S$300,000 in lawyers fees and disbursements. She will also have to pay over S$72,000 in disbursements to the Church and the two defendant priests, Father Simon Tan and Father Jacob Ong.

She should thank God that the 2 defence lawyers did not asked for their legal fees. If they (Senior Counsel Jimmy Yim and Mr Tito Isaac) had done so, their fees alone will amount to between S$500,000 and S$1 million!

Beside she still has to wait for the Supreme Court registrar to decide if the disbursement and another sum of over S$92,000 - comprising largely of costs to get psychiatrists to testify for the defence being claimed are reasonable.

Good luck Madam Amutha Valli Krishnan.
