The General Division of the High Court of Singapore has, in a significant decision that upholds seat court primacy and defines the limits of foreign court interference in arbitrations seated in Singapore, granted a permanent anti-suit injunction (ASI) restraining a party from pursuing, in a non-seat court, litigation which conflicts with a pending Singapore-seated arbitration and related Singapore seat court rulings: MSA Global LLC (Oman) v Engineering Projects (India) Ltd [2025] SGHC 199.
Our Managing Partner and Head, Litigation & Dispute Resolution Chou Sean Yu, Partner Frank Oh, Senior Associate Daryl Wong and Associate Neela Alagusundaram acted for the claimant in successfully obtaining the permanent ASI.
This update highlights the salient features of the decision.
