What You'll Learn
CET315 The Law and Practice of Arbitration in Singapore introduces the basic frameworks of commercial arbitration in Singapore and the applicable laws. The course invites students to consider the particular processes involved in the practice of arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism. The course will comprise 6 seminars. In each seminar, students will first confirm their understanding which they have gathered from their readings of selected materials and case precedents which apply to commercial arbitration. They will then be guided to apply their understanding to legal problems involving arbitration issues with a view to be able to advise a client, in the case of a lawyer and in the case of a non-lawyer, to be able to participate in arbitrations by assisting their company or group, in any dispute referred to arbitration.
