SG proposes int'l committee for SICC to hear global civil appeals

The committee will have ad hoc members from foreign courts referring appeals

Singapore has proposed to establish the International Committee of the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC) to hear prescribed civil appeals and related proceedings from prescribed foreign jurisdictions.

Under the proposed bill, the International Committee will adjudicate transnational commercial disputes and have jurisdiction over cases that are international and commercial in nature.

Committee members will include Supreme Court judges, International Judges from the SICC, and ad hoc members from foreign courts referring appeals.

The Singapore International Commercial Court Bill was read in Parliament for the first time on 14 October.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
