The primary purpose of the doctrine of issue estoppel is to give final and binding effect to court determinations on issues arising from disputes between the same parties. Not uncommonly invoked in the context of purely domestic court proceedings, the doctrine serves in effect to avoid re-litigation of issues that would otherwise be wasteful of parties’ and court resources. Transnational issue estoppel takes the doctrine a step further by training the inquiry on the finality of foreign court determinations in local proceedings between the same parties, bringing with it a host of other considerations many may be less familiar with. The boundaries of the doctrine have also yet to be fully explored and delineated in case law. This report, in reference to a recent decision by the Singapore Court of Appeal, seeks to outline the framework and margins of transnational issue estoppel by highlighting seven key potential outer limits that one should consider when seeking to invoke the doctrine in an appropriate case.
Editor-in-Chief: The Honourable Justice Chua Lee Ming
General Editor: Judge Paul Quan
A publication by Academy Publishing in collaboration with the Singapore Judicial College, Singapore Rules of Court: A Practice Guide offers incisive commentaries on the Rules of Court 2021 written by a select group of contributing authors. The commentaries offer valuable insight into and understanding of the thinking behind these rules, as most of the authors did work involving this revolutionary set of civil procedure rules before it came into effect on 1 April 2022. The editors, Justice Chua Lee Ming and Judge Paul Quan, provided guidance, lending their first-hand knowledge of and experience with the new rules in the Civil Justice Commission and subsequently in the Rules of Court Implementation Team. True to its form, Singapore Rules of Court: A Practice Guide features a quick reference format that, together with the succinct commentaries, makes it a handy court companion for the bench and practitioners. The legislation reproduced in this edition is up to date as of 29 November 2022.
