Arbitral Awards

As with the 1st Edition, this 2nd Edition examines the law relating to arbitral awards from two perspectives: awards resulting from arbitrations that are seated in Singapore and awards made elsewhere that are being enforced in Singapore. Since the 1st Edition was published, Singapore has become a top choice for place of arbitration. The volume of cases arriving before Singapore courts enabled many principles of arbitration to be debated and judicially articulated. Jurisprudence from Singapore courts is closely studied in other countries. Likewise, the Singapore judiciary carefully considers case law from other jurisdictions when faced with legal conundrums. This reciprocal influence is largely driven by the confluence of arbitration laws underpinned by the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards 1958 and the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, 1985 (amended 2006). This is especially so with regard to enforcement and challenges to arbitral awards, which are core topics in this book.

For this reason, the 1st Edition had been cited not only by the Singapore Supreme Court but also by courts in jurisdictions from Australia to Brazil. Hence, this 2nd Edition should be of interest to all who have an interest in arbitration, whether in Singapore or elsewhere.
