Abstract:
In 2010, the Supreme Court of Judicature Act (Cap 322, 2007 Rev Ed) was amended to streamline appeals to the Court of Appeal arising from interlocutory applications. Following these amendments, the general rule is that an appeal against an order made at the hearing of an interlocutory application can only be made with the leave of a judge. This note discusses Dorsey James Michael v World Sport Group Pte Ltd [2013] 3 SLR 354, which is the latest Court of Appeal decision to consider the new statutory provisions governing appeals from an order made in an interlocutory application.
