Abstract:
This article discusses the recent decisions of the court and highlights the issues and lessons relating to construction contracts that involve consortiums and/or joint ventures. The lack of clear and unambiguous drafting may lead to real, and sometimes surprising, consequences in arbitration or arbitration related proceedings, and this article seeks to highlight the key takeaways and practical drafting lessons from DRO v DRP [2026] 3 SLR 1012 and DQR v DQT [2026] SGHC 23.
