SESSION 3: “THE SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL COMMERCIAL COURT AND ITS ROLE IN THE RESOLUTION OF
CONSTRUCTION DISPUTES AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTRUCTION LAW”
The SICC was established in January 2015, as a division of the High Court of Singapore, and now sits alongside arbitration
and normal Court proceedings, where construction disputes have traditionally been resolved. This is a development that
will be watched closely by practitioners and parties in the construction industry. The SICC’s unique features distinguish it
from Arbitration and normal Court proceedings in many areas including confidentiality, joinder, flexibility in evidential rules,
document disclosure, and its international panel of eminent Judges. These unique features give the SICC the capacity to
play a leading role in the both the resolution of Construction Disputes and the development of Construction Law.
Session 3 aims to explore, at a relatively high level, the key features of the SICC that will be of interest to the construction
industry, its potential role in the resolution of construction disputes, how it compares with the more traditional modes of
dealing with such disputes, and the role that the SICC can play in the development of Construction Law.

SESSION 4: IN-HOUSE COUNSEL PANEL ON “WHAT KEEPS YOU AWAKE AT NIGHT?”
Our panel of experienced in-house counsel will share their insights on the issues that challenge them in their daily work

forefront of their minds or do the more topical concerns of corruption, money laundering and data protection now reside
near the top of their to-do lists.
