F Ltd v M Ltd

The disputes between PT Perhusahaan and Negara have been running for a number of years. There have been proceedings before Dispute Boards, arbitration tribunals and in the Singapore courts.

Ahmed Ibrahim and Jeremy Glover review the new (and long-anticipated) Federal Arbitration Act which came into effect in the UAE on 16 June 2018.

Failure by a party to pay its share of an advance on arbitration costs may amount to a breach of the arbitration agreement, but it will not necessarily be repudiatory. Where the applicable arbitral rules provide mechanisms to allow the arbitration to proceed, non‑payment alone is unlikely to render the arbitration agreement inoperative.
