Singapore Academy of Law Journal: The Singapore courts’ approach to the lifting of forum non conveniens stays - Xitrans Finance Ltd v Rappo, Tania [2023] SGCA 22
When would a claimant, whose claim has been stayed on the ground of forum non conveniens (“FNC”), be able to lift the stay? In a rare application made directly to the Singapore Court of Appeal to lift an FNC stay, the court in Xitrans Finance Ltd v Rappo, Tania [2023] SGCA 22 (“Xitrans”) was confronted squarely with such a question.
Allen & Gledhill Partner Peh Aik Hin explores the Singapore courts’ approach to the lifting of FNC stays and considers some important comments made by the Singapore Court of Appeal in Xitrans in a case note titled “The Singapore courts’ approach to the lifting of forum non conveniens stays”. The case note was first published in the Singapore Academy of Law Journal.
