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 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.

Division of Matrimonial Assets in Singapore: An Empirical Study

How have Singapore’s courts navigated the evolving and often contentious landscape of division of matrimonial assets upon divorce? Through an extensive empirical study of matrimonial cases in Singapore, this monograph offers fresh insights into the historical and jurisprudential development of the division of matrimonial assets in its courts. It examines how legal reforms – from the Women’s Charter amendments in 1980 and 1996 to the “structured approach” introduced in ANJ v ANK (2015) – have influenced judicial practices in this area of Singapore family law. By drawing on comprehensive datasets on local matrimonial cases, it proposes a principled methodology for equitable asset division grounded in partnership law principles. Essential reading for family law judges and practitioners, policymakers, and social workers, this work is a key resource for stakeholders in the family law community in Singapore.
