This issue looks at three recent Singapore Court decisions:
By Gan Kam Yuin – Partner, Bih Li & Lee LLP and Timothy Quek – Associate, Bih Li & Lee LLP
IN HOT SEAT
In each issue of our newsletter, we interview an SIArb member to get their views on the alternative dispute resolution scene in Singapore, and to obtain some insight into what makes them tick. In this issue, we interview Mr. Lok Vi Ming SC, Managing Director of LVM Law Chambers LLC.
The Members’ Nite (25 April 2017)
Members and their guests braved the rain and made their way to VLV on Clarke Quay for the spring Members’ Nite on 25 April. The newly renovated, gold and marble-clad, VLV Club Lounge provided a glamorous backdrop for the well-attended and high-spirited evening.
SIArb’s Vice President, Dinesh Dhillon, took the opportunity to welcome to the Institute those soon-to-be new members who had completed the International Entry Course over the preceding weekend and to thank existing members for their continued support of the Institute.
Arbitration and Mediation – Siamese Twins for Dispute Resolution: The Issues and Potential
At this seminar, Mr Lok Vi Ming SC shared his vast experience in mediation with the audience, specifically focusing on its advantages, its role in the Arb-Med-Arb dispute resolution mechanism and the concerns over the arbitrator also being the mediator in an Arb-Med-Arb situation.
Mr Lok was quick to draw the attention of the audience to the SIMC Arb-Med-Arb Model Clause and suggested that agreement drafters should always have this in mind when choosing an appropriate dispute resolution mechanism between parties. This suggestion came strongly on the basis that a 75-85% success rate of settlement has been achieved through this dispute resolution route.
