In COT v COU and others and other appeals [2023] SGCA 31, a case concerned with three applications to set aside an arbitral award on the premise that there was no concluded contract (and therefore no valid arbitration agreement), and where the absence of the contract was also the substantive issue in dispute in the underlying arbitration, the Singapore Court of Appeal clarified that a seat court hearing such an application need only concern itself with whether the contract existed.
Our Partners Koh Swee Yen SC and Hannah Lee, and Associate Claire Lim represented the appellant in CA/CA 12/2022 before the Court of Appeal.
