RBS Coutts is suing the former head of
its Asian operations, Hanspeter Brunner, for the return of an
advance on his bonus after he left the UK company for BSI last
year.

Brunner left last year taking about 70
employees of the Royal Bank of Scotland wealth unit. RBS Coutts
claimed in its Singapore lawsuit that Brunner should return about
SGD$170,000 ($127,000) he received as a cash advance on a deferred
bonus plan.
