SINGAPORE: 205 members of the former Sijori Resort Club on Sentosa have filed a class action lawsuit against the new owners of the club for breach of contract.

A writ was filed in the High Court on Monday against Treasure Resort and its sister company Colony Members Service Club by seven plaintiffs representing the members.

They are alleging that Treasure Resort renounced its obligations under the membership agreement when it bought over the club.

It drew up a new agreement with changes including a massive hike in monthly subscription payments of more than five times the original amount.

The members also claim that they have been denied membership privileges since Treasure Resort took over as club owner in 2006.

Efforts by MediaCorp to contact Treasure Resort were unsuccessful. - CNA/vm
