In Vietnam Oil and Gas Group v Joint Stock Company (Power Machines – ZTL, LMZ Electrosila Energomachexport) and another appeal [2025] SGCA 50, the Singapore Court of Appeal addressed a critical issue concerning breaches of the fair hearing rule in arbitration. The Court ruled that remission was not an appropriate remedy in such cases, opting instead to set aside the arbitral award entirely. It also overturned the General Division of the High Court’s order for certain matters to be remitted to the arbitral tribunal.
This groundbreaking decision is being hailed as one of the most significant and biggest cases in Singapore.
The case has also been reported in the Global Arbitration Review, read more here (subscribe to view).
