The recent case of Astro Nusantara International BV and others v PT Aunda Prima Mitra and others [2012] SGHC 212 is a further decision of the Singapore courts showing active support for arbitration (see our earlier blog piece here on PT Pukuafu Indah and others v Newmont Indonesia Ltd and another).
The case involved a challenge to the enforcement of arbitral awards on the grounds that the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction over a number of the parties to the arbitration. The Singapore High Court issued a lengthy and complex judgment, delving into the provisions of the UNCITRAL Model Law. Please click here to read our post on our Arbitration blog.
