This is the first text to provide a comprehensive rule-by-rule commentary of the inception, interpretation, and application of the SIAC Rules, written by practitioners with extensive experience in South East Asia arbitrations . Practical and strategic in approach, this book provides useful guidance for practitioners whilst also delivering commentary and thematic analysis to highlight the connections between the SIAC rules and those of other institutions. The book begins with an introduction to Singapore arbitration, both practical and legal, and is followed by an overview of SIAC arbitration, including the different stages of a typical case and the corporate structure of SIAC. Every rule is then examined in detail on a thematic basis, starting with the commencement of an arbitration and working up to and including the rendering of an award and the determination of costs. This new edition has been fully updated to include the 2016 SIAC Rules, and also contains additional chapters on the new rules on multiple contracts, consolidation, and joinder, the early dismissal of claims and defences, and the SIAC Investment Arbitration Rules (2017). Relevant supporting documents are appended, including SIAC Practice Notes and the SIAC Code of Ethics for Arbitrators. This book stands alone as a comprehensive exposition of SIAC arbitration, and is indispensable for any practitioner involved in arbitration in Asia.
What is even more impressive than the scope of this book is the quality of the writing and research, where the authors constantly add helpful comments and compare the SIAC Rules with those of other major arbitral institutions. For many practitioners, the true value of a textbook is the breadth and depth of its citations and footnotes of relevant case law, standard textbooks and academic articles. In this regard, this book surpasses its first edition. Given the growing importance of SIAC as one of the world's top international arbitration centre, this is an invaluable and indispensable tool for the international arbitration practitioner. * Michael Hwang, Arbitration International *
Reviews from previous edition - This volume contains all one needs to achieve significant familiarity with the SIAC, and a detailed understanding of specific issues that may confront arbitrants under its Rules. It is yet another milestone in the development of an important institution of the international community. * Prof. Jan Paulsson, Michael Klein Distinguished Scholar Chair, University of Miami *
For many practitioners the true value of a textbook is in the breadth and depth of its footnotes with citations of all the relevant caselaw, standard textbooks as well as jurisprudence (in the form of cases and articles) from off the beaten track. In this regard, this book succeeds admirably. In many ways, the book can be treated as a textbook on the entire law of international arbitration in Singapore. It is simply a no-brainer that all serious arbitration practitioners will need a copy, and arguably even a personal copy in addition to their library copy, which is likely to be on the desk of another colleague when it is urgently needed. * Michael Hwang SC *
