Arbitral Awards, 2nd Edition by Chan Leng Sun SC | 2025

This Second Edition examines the law governing arbitral awards from two perspectives: awards arising from arbitrations seated in Singapore and foreign awards presented for enforcement in Singapore. Its central focus is the enforcement of awards and the legal grounds for challenging them.

Since the First Edition, Singapore has strengthened its position as a leading arbitration venue. A growing body of cases has allowed its courts to clarify and develop important arbitration principles. Singapore judgments are studied internationally, while its courts also draw on decisions from other jurisdictions when addressing complex legal questions. This exchange reflects the shared framework established by the New York Convention 1958 and the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration 1985, as amended in 2006.

The First Edition was cited by the Singapore Supreme Court and courts in jurisdictions ranging from Australia to Brazil. Building on that foundation, this updated edition offers a valuable reference for practitioners and others interested in arbitration, both in Singapore and internationally.

Foreword to Arbitral Awards, 2nd Edition by Chan Leng Sun SC | 2025:

Over the past decade, Singapore’s arbitration jurisprudence has expanded alongside local publications offering broad coverage or detailed analysis of particular topics. Chan Leng Sun SC’s book focuses on arbitral awards—a subject deserving close examination, as the award is the ultimate outcome sought by parties in arbitration.

Like the First Edition, this book contains seven chapters. It opens with a concise overview of Singapore’s legislative framework for arbitration, followed by a detailed examination of arbitral awards, covering their preparation and issuance, the remedies available to parties, and issues arising during enforcement.
