2025 has been yet another prolific year for the development of Singapore restructuring and insolvency case law.
In this update, we highlight ten of the most significant decisions in 2025 and discuss their implications for the restructuring and insolvency landscape in Singapore.
These decisions span a wide range of topics, including cross-border restructuring (forum shopping, arbitration vs insolvency, enforcement of stay orders), schemes of arrangement (classification, restructuring of business trusts), liquidation / judicial management (removal of officeholders, information gathering powers) and proofs of debt (adjudication, expungement, “double dipping”).
