Case Significance

CYW v CYX [2023] SGHC(I) 17 is a reserved judgment of Thomas Bathurst IJ in the Singapore International Commercial Court, delivered on 31 October 2023 in Originating Application No 3 of 2022. The proceedings arose out of an arbitration in which CYW, the claimant, denied liability on certain bills of exchange and challenged the validity of a security deed with CYX, which counterclaimed to enforce that deed. Having been unsuccessful in the arbitration, CYW brought SIC/OA 3/2022 seeking to set aside the award for denial of natural justice under section 24(b) of the International Arbitration Act 1994 and Article 34(2)(a)(ii) of the UNCITRAL Model Law, the setting-aside grounds having already been dealt with in CYW v CYX [2023] SGHC(I) 10; the present judgment concerns the costs of those proceedings.
