“In Management Corporation Strata Title Plan No 3556 (suing on behalf of itself and all subsidiary proprietors of Northstar @ AMK) v Orion-One Development Pte Ltd (in liquidation) and another [2020] 3 SLR 373 (“Orion-One”), the High Court held at [22] that the rationale for the business records exception is that a statement made in the ordinary course of business is a record of historical fact made from a disinterested standpoint, and which may thereby be presumed to be true. In Banque de Commerce et de Placements SA, DIFC Branch and another v China Aviation Oil (Singapore) Corp Ltd (Shandong Energy International (Singapore) Pte Ltd, third party; Golden Base Energy Pte Ltd, fourth party) [2024] SGHC 145, the High Court held at [121] that in order for this exception to be engaged, the statements in question must have been made contemporaneously with the facts which have occurred, or as soon as the exigencies of the situation will permit.” [Emphasis added]
