Opis

A rule-by-rule examination of the inception, interpretation, and application of these influential rules, this is the principal text for all who arbitrate in Singapore. Written by experienced practitioners, it is an authoritative companion for hearings in this fast-growing seat.

Recenzje

For many practitioners the true value of a textbook is in the breadth and depth of its footnotes with citations of all the relevant caselaw, standard textbooks as well as jurisprudence (in the form of cases and articles) from off the beaten track. In this regard, this book succeeds admirably. In many ways, the book can be treated as a textbook on the entire law of international arbitration in Singapore. It is simply a no-brainer that all serious arbitration practitioners will need a copy, and arguably even a personal copy in addition to their library copy, which is likely to be on the desk of another colleague when it is urgently needed.
