Brand New Possibilities - Opening Up Third-Party Funding for International Arbitration in Singapore

20 Apr 2017 LegisWatch

On 10 January 2017, the Singapore Parliament passed the Civil Law (Amendment Act) 2017 (“Amendment Act”), which came into force on 1 March 2017. The Amendment Act introduced changes to both the Civil Law Act and the Legal Profession Act, permitting qualifying organisations to provide third-party funding for international arbitrations that are seated in Singapore.
