Further to the brief post we published on the April judgment in DBS Bank (Hong Kong) Limited v Sit Pan Jit (HCA 382/2009), our team in Hong Kong have published some more detailed comments on this most recent of cases upholding the principles of contractual estoppel and enforcing the terms of the written contract between the parties.  Given that that case turned upon its specific facts, we also consider some steps that can be taken to help banks protect themselves from customer claims in circumstances where investments go wrong.
