SG proposes int'l committee for SICC to hear global civil appeals

The committee will have ad hoc members from foreign courts referring appeals

Singapore has proposed to establish the International Committee of the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC) to hear prescribed civil appeals and related proceedings from prescribed foreign jurisdictions.

Under the proposed bill, the International Committee will adjudicate transnational commercial disputes and have jurisdiction over cases that are international and commercial in nature.

Committee members will include Supreme Court judges, International Judges from the SICC, and ad hoc members from foreign courts referring appeals.

The Singapore International Commercial Court Bill was read in Parliament for the first time on 14 October.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
