WEBINAR: “You Can’t Re-Open that Question!” - Res Judicata in International Arbitration (9 March 2022)
Contact SIArb Secretariat, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
About this Webinar:

The doctrine of res judicata prevents a party from re-litigating a matter which has already been the subject of a binding decision.  But when will it apply and what is its scope?  Are there differences in how it applies to arbitration, as compared to litigation in court?  What issues give rise to the most difficult questions?  And how does Singapore law compare with the approach in other jurisdictions?

In this webinar, Margaret Joan Ling will explain the operation of res judicata and associated doctrines (cause of action estoppel, issue estoppel and abuse of process under Henderson v Henderson) under Singapore law, including in recent cases such as DyStar Global Holdings v Kiri Industries (in which she appeared before the Singapore International Commercial Court) and BTN v BTP (in which the courts were asked to review an arbitral tribunal’s decision on res judicata).  Drawing on her experience of arguing res judicata issues in arbitrations in Korea, Yunsoo Shin will provide a contrasting perspective from a civil law jurisdiction.
