What is even more impressive than the scope of this book is the
quality of the writing and research, where the authors constantly
add helpful comments and compare the SIAC Rules with those of other
major arbitral institutions. For many practitioners, the true value
of a textbook is the breadth and depth of its citations and
footnotes of relevant case law, standard textbooks and academic
articles. In this regard, this book surpasses its first edition.
Given the growing importance of SIAC as one of the world's top
international arbitration centre, this is an invaluable and
indispensable tool for the international arbitration
practitioner.
*Michael Hwang, Arbitration International*
Reviews from previous edition - This volume contains all one needs
to achieve significant familiarity with the SIAC, and a detailed
understanding of specific issues that may confront arbitrants under
its Rules. It is yet another milestone in the development of an
important institution of the international community.
*Prof. Jan Paulsson, Michael Klein Distinguished Scholar Chair,
University of Miami*
For many practitioners the true value of a textbook is in the
breadth and depth of its footnotes with citations of all the
relevant caselaw, standard textbooks as well as jurisprudence (in
the form of cases and articles) from off the beaten track. In this
regard, this book succeeds admirably. In many ways, the book can be
treated as a textbook on the entire law of international
arbitration in Singapore. It is simply a no-brainer that all
serious arbitration practitioners will need a copy, and arguably
even a personal copy in addition to their library copy, which is
likely to be on the desk of another colleague when it is urgently
needed.
