Winning a judgment is not the same as being paid. In the past year, the Singapore courts have sharpened how judgment creditors get from one to the other.
Koh Swee Yen, S.C. (Head, International Arbitration), Joel Quek, Lin Chunlong and Hannah Lee (Partners) co-authored the Singapore chapter of Chambers' Global Practice Guide: Enforcement of Judgments 2026, "How Courts Are Applying the Amended Procedural Rules on Enforcement of Judgments in Singapore."
The chapter tracks the latest case law in Singapore: club memberships and cryptocurrency now recognised as "movable property"; how crypto assets are valued and located for enforcement purposes; a clearer test for when attachment of debts warrants a full trial rather than a summary decision; debtors previously examined are unable to be re-examined without new developments; a well-funded appellant must pay outstanding costs before an appeal can proceed.
