The Express Track, recommended by the Commercial Practice Panel of the Supreme Court (co-chaired by the Honourable Justice Kannan Ramesh and the Honourable Justice Philip Jeyaretnam), was identified as one of the upcoming civil justice initiatives by the Honourable the Chief Justice in His Honour’s Response at the Opening of Legal Year 2024. 

 
The Express Track will be implemented on 1 July 2024 with the introduction of the new Order 46A of the Rules of Court 2021. The Express Track is a new opt-in scheme that is designed to fill the gap for matters that have disputes of fact making them unsuitable for disposal by way of Originating Applications or summary judgments, but which can be resolved within up to four days of trial. The Express Track is applicable to actions in the General Division of the High Court commenced by originating claim where all parties to the action consent for the action to be placed on the Express Track. Various features of the Express Track, designed and refined in consultation with stakeholders, serve to ensure that as far as possible, the trial will take place within 9 months after the action is placed on the Express Track. 

 
In this session co-organised by the Supreme Court and the Singapore Academy of Law, the Honourable Justice Ramesh and the Honourable Justice Jeyaretnam will share insights into the design of the Express Track and how it may facilitate the speedy resolution of compact trials to enhance access to justice. The session will provide attendees with a walk-through of the new Order 46A of the Rules of Court 2021, as well as related amendments to the Fourth Schedule of the Supreme Court Judicature Act 1969 and the Supreme Court Practice Directions 2021. The session will also cover the operational aspects of the Express Track and give attendees an opportunity to raise questions on the general matters pertaining to the scheme.

This event is Complimentary and for Members only.
