Our Head of International Arbitration, Koh Swee Yen, SC, together with Deputy Head of Commercial & Corporate Disputes, Wendy Lin, and Partners Tiong Teck Wee and Monica Chong Wan Yee, recently contributed to “Litigation 2026 – Singapore: Trends & Developments” as part of the Chambers Global Practice Guides.
The chapter examines recent, significant developments in Singapore law relating to cryptocurrency, arbitration, and civil procedure. These include the first representative action brought in the Singapore International Commercial Court in relation to the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin in Beltran, Julian Moreno and others v Terraform Labs Pte Ltd and others [2025] SGHC(I) 17 where we acted for Terraform, Hully Enterprises Ltd and others v The Russian Federation [2025] SGHC(I) 19 where we successfully argued that the doctrine of transnational issue estoppel applied to preclude The Russian Federation from asserting state immunity as a basis to set aside the Singapore Court orders granting leave to enforce three arbitral awards, DOI v DOJ and other [2025] SGHC(i) 15 where we successfully set aside an arbitral award for breach of the rules of natural justice as substantial portions of the award were “copy and pasted” from the awards made in separate related arbitrations, and DJY v DJZ and another [2025] SGHC 59 where we obtained an Erinford injunction, and the High Court clarified the position under Singapore law in relation to the test for obtaining such an injunction.
