Enforcement Procedures Of Arbitral Awards In Singapore

So, you have won the arbitration case, but is it cause for celebration? Winning in arbitration is only part of the equation, because if the other side refuses to comply with the arbitration award, you are then faced with the next stage of the battle, which is that you will need to proceed with enforcement proceedings in the country where the respondent's assets are located. So, what happens if a party refuses to comply with the award?

The winning party may bring the award to the court of the country in which the losing party resides or has its place of business or in the country where the losing party has assets that may be seized. The courts of that country may then, upon making the necessary application by the enforcing party, intervene and review the enforceability of the award.
