Abstract:
Can an arbitral award grant relief that was provided for in a contract that is separate from the contract in which the arbitration agreement was contained? Will an arbitrator’s refusal of amendments to arbitral pleadings constitute a breach of the rules of natural justice? Is Singapore’s public policy breached upon an allegation that the relief granted in an arbitral award contravenes a foreign law? This article examines the Singapore International Commercial Court’s application of trite legal principles towards these novel factual questions.
