Supreme Court Opinions |
DIVORCE
• Mrs.Thidatip Srirun vs. Mr. Lerts Srirun
The plaintiff registered her marriage with the first defendant, who thereafter registered a subsequent marriage with the second defendant and lived with the second defendant as husband and wife although the first defendant and the plaintiff had not yet divorced. The plaintiff filed a divorce in Thailand and claims for right to child support payment from the first defendant. The Supreme Court overturned the ruling of the Appellate Court on child support payment issues in this case.
CONDOMINIUM
• Miss Napit Injan vs. Sabkeaw Co., Ltd
The plaintiff (buyer) did not make the transfer of condominium ownership within the specified time as stated in the letter the defendant (seller) claimed was sent to the plaintiff, yet the defendant made another appointment to transfer ownership of the condominium unit at a later date, and permitted the plaintiff to inspect the cracks in the wall of the disputed unit. The court finds that, although the defendant's letter stated that the agreement would be terminated if the transfer of ownership was not made in the specified period, the agreement was not invalidated in this instance as the defendant's actions were indicative of the defendant's intentions to sell the condominium unit.
ADVERSE POSSESSION OF LAND
Mrs. Payoun Keawketthong et al. vs. Mr. Kamol Tanangsanakul by acting representatives Mr. Koukert Tanangsanakul et al.
Adverse possession of the land of another person, permitted according to section 1382 of the Civil and Commercial Code, is subject to possession of land with a title deed only and based on the condition that the trespasser must have resided on the land for a continuous period of 10 years or more. Based on this condition, the defendants were deemed not entitled to ownership of the disputed land.

New Measures Proposed For Elite Card
07 June 2007
Tourism and Sports Minister Suvit Yodmani reportedly proposed new regulations to keep the Thailand Privilege Card (TPC) competitive. The program was created by former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra to increase tourism revenue. Cardholders receive perks including preferential visas, fast-track immigration clearance and discounts and selected venues. Although the program aimed to attract one million cardholders by 2008, only 2,130 persons have become members. Dr. Suvit has proposed to invite the private sector to control 70-75% of the company or overhaul the management of the Thailand Privilege Card. |
