This issue reviews important Singapore arbitration-related court decisions from January to June 2020 on attempts to set aside arbitral awards. Accompanying case notes examining the significance and relevance of these and other Singapore cases reported are included in this issue. There is also an extended single article by Toby Landau QC – “Arbitral Groundhog Day: The Reopening and Re-Arguing of Arbitral Determinations” – which critically and exhaustively reviews the resultant complex issues when a party seeks to have a claim adjudicated in one forum, which has already been determined in another.

The Singapore Academy of Law Annual Review of Singapore Cases (“SAL Ann Rev”) is an annual conspectus that encapsulates and evaluates decisions of the Singapore courts in the preceding year. Selected cases from other jurisdictions impacting local law are also discussed. Leading practitioners and academics contribute on their areas of specialty by way of comment, analyses and criticisms.

Amongst the noteworthy judgments are the Singapore Court of Appeal decisions in BNA v BNB [2020] 1 SLR 456 and ST Group Co Ltd v Sanum Investments Ltd [2020] 1 SLR 1 in relation to issues such as the seat of arbitration and the governing law and validity of the arbitration agreement. The two learned articles in this issue explore thorny issues such as corruption in international arbitration and confidentiality in the arbitration process.
