Lee Soh Geok is contesting three charges, under the Protection from Harassment Act, of harassing her neighbour, Helen Lim Hai Loon, between Jan 29, 2019 and May 22, 2020.

Should commas enclose "Helen Lim Hai Hoon, as in sentence 2 or none, as in sentence 1?

Thanks!

@tanguatlay,
Both are correct. Putting the neighbor's name inside of commas places more emphasis on the person but is not strictly necessary. But if using a commas with a proper name, as in the second example, you must use two.
