Supreme Court Opinions |
DIVORCE
• Mrs.Aouyporn Petchthai vs. Sergeant Weerachon Petchthai et al.
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 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.

Alien Worker Act B.E. 2551 (2008)
2 May 2008
The new act, specifying alien work permit conditions and fees in Thailand, was announced in the Royal Gazette on 22 February 2008. The act stipulates that a work permit will cease after a period of 2 years after the date of issuance. The exception to this is for work permits in the fields of investment law or other laws, in which case the work permit will be in effect based on the agreed time period specified in the document. Extension of a work permit is for a period of 2 years and should not be for the purpose of permanent residence in the Kingdom of Thailand. In the event a foreigner is exiled in Thailand or enters and resides in the Kingdom without lawful authorization from immigration authorities, but receives permission to reside temporarily while awaiting deportation, the alien in this situation will be allowed to work for a total of not more than 4 years in the Kingdom.
