Law boosts global enforceability for rulings on civil, commercial matters
Enabling court judgments here on civil and commercial matters to have greater international enforceability is at the heart of a new law passed by Parliament yesterday.
Approval of the Choice of Court Agreements Act also makes Singapore courts a more attractive forum for deciding cross-border disputes, Senior Minister of State for Law Indranee Rajah explained during the debate on the legislation.
Its approval now paves the way for Singapore to ratify an international pact that 28 countries have adopted: the Hague Convention.
