Case Significance

CZT v CZU [2023] SGHC(I) 11 is a reserved judgment of the Singapore International Commercial Court, delivered on 28 June 2023 in Originating Summons No 1 of 2023, with Chua Lee Ming J delivering the judgment of the court sitting with Dominique Hascher IJ and Sir Jeremy Cooke IJ. In arbitration proceedings commenced by the defendant against the plaintiff, the arbitral tribunal issued an award against the plaintiff by a majority, with the minority issuing a dissenting opinion making several serious allegations against the majority. The plaintiff applied to set aside the award, and the three summonses were applications for orders that the three members of the arbitration tribunal produce their records of deliberations; the court dismissed the applications, addressing the confidentiality of records of deliberations under the International Arbitration Act.
