Over the past couple of decades, Singapore has successfully established itself as a prominent hub for international dispute resolution. The Singapore International Arbitration Act (SIAA), originally enacted in 1994 to implement the Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, has undergone four revisions and amendments throughout its existence, further solidifying Singapore's position as a focal point for international arbitration.

Following the latest amendments in 2020, this book offers the first comprehensive, section-by-section commentary on the SIAA, authored by Singapore-qualified arbitration practitioners and with a robust coverage of the substantial corpus of Singapore arbitration jurisprudence that has been developed by the Singapore Courts over the past decade. It provides up-to-date analysis of each section of the Act and relevant provisions of the UNCITRAL Model Law. While Singapore case law and the approach taken by the Singapore Courts take center stage, the authors also adopt a comparative and international lens on critical issues where the law remains in a state of progressive development. This commentary will serve as an invaluable resource for practitioners, students, and academics interested in the law and practice of arbitration in Singapore and other Model Law jurisdictions.
