Dear SCL(S) members,
At the time of writing this message, Anil Changaroth (SCL(S)’s “International Liaison”) and myself have just returned from Sao Paulo, Brazil, where we were privileged to represent SCL(S) at the SCL International Conference 2016. The international conference was a special occasion in which Anil, as a speaker, and myself, as a session moderator, were able to showcase the sophistication of Singapore construction law on a world stage. This is highly relevant considering the development of construction law (and corresponding contractual and technical aspects of construction practice) throughout South America in general. It is also pleasing that SCL(S) can play an active role in the growth of the global SCL community.

Arbitrating Construction Disputes – The Problem Of Consolidation
Construction disputes often involve more than on party and more than one contract. This can lead to so-called "parallel proceedings" and is frequently cited as a source of concern by users of arbitration in the industry. In recent years, a number of arbitration institutions have included joinder and consolidation provisions in their arbitration rules (including, most recently, the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (the "SIAC") in the 6th Edition of the SIAC Rules (the "SIAC Rules 2016")). Rob Palmer and Sinyee Ong discuss the issue of consolidation in construction arbitration, the relevant provisions contained in the SIAC Rules 2016, and the implications for those drafting construction contracts.
