THE SIAC EXPEDITED PROCEDURE EXPERIENCE: HOW DOES IT WORK? This Panel will discuss the concept of an expedited procedure (“EP”), recent EP cases at SIAC, timelines involved, the effectiveness and enforceability of EP awards in Singapore and Indonesia and court decisions of relevance to the topic. Further, the Panel will also delve into the following issues:
| • |
What kinds of cases are suitable for an expedited procedure? Does quantum matter – are expedited procedures ever suitable for arbitrations where large amounts are at stake? (Large amounts do not necessarily imply complex issues) |
| • |
Does applying (or not applying) for Expedited Procedure and having the institution reject it prejudice a later application for interim measures before the arbitral tribunal?
