International Arbitration – SIAC Rules / Telecommunications

In 61 consolidated SIAC arbitrations seated in Singapore, acting for the Singapore commodities trading arm of a Swiss-headquartered multinational corporation against a Singapore trading firm concerning purchases of benzene and toluene that allegedly should never have been entered into, due to a lack of authority on the part of the Singapore trader’s representative.

International Arbitration – Resisting Enforcement of US$250M SIAC Arbitral Award
Acting for PT First Media Tbk, a prominent Indonesian telecommunications company (part of the ‘Lippo’ group of companies) in successfully blocking the enforcement of over 99% of an US$250 million SIAC arbitral award (i.e. reducing the enforceable amount to approx. US$700,000 only) that had been made by a tribunal of three renowned English arbitrators in favour of various claimants from the ‘Astro’ group of companies. The challenge to enforcement led by Edmund and his team culminated in a landmark decision delivered on 31 October 2013 by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon in the Singapore Court of Appeal after two prominent Queen’s Counsel – Toby Landau QC (for First Media) and David Joseph QC (for Astro) – were granted ad-hoc admission to the Singapore Bar to argue the dispute as instructed counsel before the Singapore High Court (in July 2012) and then the Singapore Court of Appeal (in April 2013). The case received wide coverage in the Singapore, Indonesian and Malaysian press and the Global Arbitration Review. Subsequently, over 2013 – 2018, Edmund and his team assisted CordellsRompotis in the successful setting-aside of parallel enforcement proceedings in Hong Kong where US$50 million of the client’s assets had been garnished. This case is today a hot-topic in arbitration circles around the globe.
Singapore Litigation – Complex Matrimonial Dispute / New York Pre-Nuptial Agreement Fully Enforced
Acting for a Singapore businessman in a highly-acrimonious 9-year matrimonial battle with his American wife (represented by a prominent Singapore law firm) involving complex child-related issues (including relocation away from Singapore) and a pre-nuptial agreement that the parties had signed in New York, governed by New York law, which a Judicial Commissioner of the Singapore Family Justice Courts eventually upheld and enforced in the man’s favour after many rounds of argument, rejecting the wife’s attempts to disavow the agreement on the alleged grounds of misrepresentation, thereby hoping to secure a share of the man’s assets which she claimed exceeded US$100 million. This may be the first (and perhaps only) case of a pre-nuptial agreement made under a foreign law being fully enforced by a Singapore court, denying the wife’s claims for division of matrimonial assets and spousal maintenance.
Singapore Litigation – Medical Negligence / Boy In Persistent Vegitative State
Acting for the father and litigation representative of a young man who just a few days before his 21st birthday attended at the emergency department of a Singapore hospital complaining of a severe asthma attack, but then suffered a pulmonary collapse while being treated, resulting in him being in a Persistent Vegetative State (PVS).
Singapore Litigation & Coroner’s Inquiry – Medical Negligence / Death Following Knee Replacement Surgery
In a Coroner’s Inquiry and a subsequent High Court suit, the family of an elderly German lady, who died following her popliteal artery and vein being severed in a knee replacement surgery performed by a Singapore orthopaedic surgeon in a prominent Singapore private hospital.

International Arbitration – SIAC Rules / Energy (Coal) / Indonesia
Acting for an Indonesian energy company and a related Singapore company in their claim against a prominent Indian coal-industry tycoon and his related Singapore company. The Indonesian clients sought declarations denying the respondents the return of a US$30 million part-payment towards a US$100 million deal for the joint development of a coal concession in Kalimantan, Indonesia. The respondents in turn claimed that the deal was procured by fraud and/or conspiracy and attempted to commence action in the High Court of Singapore in contravention of the SIAC arbitration clause.
International Arbitration – ICC Rules / Energy (Enhanced Oil Recovery) / Indonesia
Acting for an Indonesian oil company in a complex but successful ICC arbitration (the client’s claim exceeded US$100 million and the counterclaim – which was later dismissed in the client’s favour – exceeded US$300 million) against one of Indonesia’s most prominent state-owned companies involving a dispute over the latter’s refusal to fulfil its obligations under an Enhanced Oil Recovery contract and failure to act in “good faith” in accordance with Article 1338 (3) of the Indonesian Civil Code.
International Arbitration – ICC Rules / Telecommunications
Acting as co-counsel to a multinational European telecommunications company in an ICC arbitration commenced against a Chinese mobile telephone manufacturer involving breach of contract, alleged anti-competition issues, a jurisdictional appeal to the Singapore High Court (which we defeated) and a concurrent anti-competition claim before the Chinese courts.
Singapore Litigation – Medical Negligence / Misdiagnosis of Cancer
Acting as instructed counsel for the widow of a man whose skin specimen was mis-diagnosed by a laboratory as being “non-malignant” when it actually had characteristics that were suspicious for cancer. Due to the mis-diagnosis, the man was deprived of treatment for his melanoma for 2 years, which subsequently spread and eventually killed him. In March 2018, the Singapore High Court awarded the man’s dependants and estate the sum of S$1.24 million in damages. This is one of a mere handful of successful medical negligence cases brought by patient-claimants before the Singapore High Court.
Singapore Litigation – Medical Misconduct / Disciplinary Proceedings / Appeal to Court of Three Judges
Acting for the Singapore Medical Council (“SMC”) in defeating an appeal brought by Dr Jen Shek Wei – a senior obstetrician and gynaecologist – against his conviction and sentence by the Disciplinary Tribunal of the SMC. The Court of Three Judges (“C3J”) – comprised of 3 members of the Singapore Court of Appeal – upheld Dr Jen’s conviction in respect of his having advised his patient to undergo surgery to remove her ovarian mass without carrying out further evaluation and investigation of her condition and without obtaining informed consent. This case was legally significant as the C3J agreed with our submissions on behalf of the SMC that the consent form, although signed by the patient, did not conclusively prove that the patient had given her informed consent as required under the SMC’s Ethical Code and Ethical Guidelines that all doctors in Singapore have to abide by.
Singapore Litigation – Medical Misconduct / Disciplinary Proceedings / Appeal to Court of Three Judges
Acting for the Singapore Medical Council in appeal by a medical practitioner against the decision of the SMC Disciplinary Tribunal that had convicted the doctor of professional misconduct and “inadequate professional services” and suspended the doctor from practice. This case was significant as it involved a conviction of a charge for Inadequate Professional Services under a new statutory provision – i.e. Section 53(1)(e) of the Medical Registration Act – the scope / ambit of which had not hitherto been determined by the Singapore courts. The Court also had to consider the implications of a breach of an undertaking given by a doctor to the SMC in earlier disciplinary proceedings. In dismissing the doctor’s appeal, Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon (delivering the decision of the Court of 3 Judges) clarified the legal principles applicable to the sentencing of a medical practitioner and the scope of various ethical duties / obligations of a medical practitioner – see Yong Thiam Look Peter v SMC [2017] SGHC 10.
Singapore Litigation – Tort / Breach of Confidentiality / Interim Injunction
Acting for a Singapore plastic surgeon in his claim against his estranged wife and related parties for breaching his confidentiality by copying data from his notebook computer, then deploying it in matrimonial proceedings against him – the case was settled amicably after the Singapore Court of Appeal upheld the interim injunction obtained by our client to prevent his wife from using the copied confidential information pending trial, and to deliver-up the copied data to us, as our client’s solicitors. This case saw the important English Court of Appeal decision in Imerman v Tchenguiz [2010] EWCA Civ 908 being considered for the first time, by the Singapore Court of Appeal.
Singapore Litigation – Complex Matrimonial / Mareva (Freezing) Injunction
Acting for an Indonesian millionaire in arguably Singapore’s largest family dispute in terms of matrimonial assets to-date. The ex-wife obtained a Worldwide Mareva Injunction against the client’s assets which she claimed to be worth around S$93 million in Singapore and in excess of US$400 million worldwide. She sought to be awarded 50% of those assets in the divorce. She also filed a claim for maintenance in the sum of S$450,000 per month – believed to be the highest monthly maintenance claim that Singapore has seen. On appeal, the High Court set aside the Mareva injunction and the case was settled amicably, on a global, confidential basis, in November 2011.
Singapore Corporate Insolvency – Interim Judicial Management
Representing the petitioning creditor in a complex judicial management application against the local subsidiary of a listed multinational company in the pharmaceutical-packaging industry where the total claims of the company’s creditors involved exceeded S$80 million. We successfully obtained an interim judicial management order against the company from the Singapore High Court on behalf of the creditor. The company was eventually placed under judicial management.
Singapore Corporate Insolvency – Liquidation
Advising the liquidators of one of Singapore’s largest bunker fuel trader / supplier, where the total claims of the company’s creditors exceeded US$100 million.

We are acutely aware that “winning” encompasses not only achieving a successful outcome, but achieving that outcome efficiently in terms of time and expense, all the while ensuring a positive perception in the crucible of public opinion and the media.
We therefore manage disputes holistically, by considering every aspect, from a 360-degree perspective. This encompasses providing timely, strategic advice and guidance to our clients on :

We are mindful that arbitration often requires a form of advocacy and an overall approach very different from the contentious, hard-hitting style usually employed in commercial litigation in Court.
We know this because of our lawyers’ wide-ranging experience as counsel in ICC, SIAC and UNCITRAL arbitrations in Singapore and abroad e.g. Jakarta and Los Angeles, involving disputes arising in South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Russia, China, the Philippines, Vietnam, Hong Kong and Singapore.
Our largest arbitration dispute to-date, arising in a Singapore-seated SIAC arbitration, involves claims and counterclaims exceeding USD 4 billion.
We frequently represent clients in high-value international arbitrations. Of the many arbitrations our lawyers have handled to-date, no less than 5 of these were complex international arbitrations having an amount in dispute exceeding USD 200 million, each.
We also advise and act as counsel for clients in disputes arising from the cross-border enforcement of arbitral awards.
Our lawyers have been consistently garnered accolades in International Arbitration from Chambers & Partners, the Legal 500, AsiaLaw, Benchmark Litigation, Who’s Who Legal and Best Lawyers.

As Singapore Advocates and Solicitors, our lawyers have the privilege of arguing cases before all levels of the Singapore courts i.e. the State Courts,the Family Justice Courts, the High Court (including the SICC i.e. Singapore International Commercial Court) and the Court of Appeal.
Aggressive litigation is our daily fare.
We never shy away from a fight. If we need to settle a case, we settle it well. Our lawyers are experienced in representing private clients and corporations alike, in high-stakes claims and arbitrations, frequently opposing large firms and specialist dispute resolution teams, both from Singapore and abroad.
Our disputes partners cut their teeth at Singapore’s big-four disputes practices, working with prominent Senior Counsel. At Braddell Brothers, these lawyers bring the same (if not, greater) tenacity, creativity and quality to each and every case under their care, at the same time passing – by example – these values and attributes on to our next generation of disputes lawyers.
Acknowledging the quality of our lawyers’ advocacy, other Singapore firms have instructed them to act as lead counsel in hearings and trials before the Singapore courts, as well as in arbitration hearings.
We have been consistently ranked as a Singapore Leading Firm in Dispute Resolution (Litigation) in the Legal 500 (Asia-Pacific) and garnered accolades in the same field from Chambers & Partners (Leading Lawyer), AsiaLaw and Best Lawyers.
As a further testament to the quality of our work, we have on several occasions received new briefs from parties that we previously acted against. We are also frequently referred work from large Singapore and international firms who are unable to act for certain clients due to a conflict of interests.

Resolving a dispute is sometimes best achieved without a third-party making a decision as to the disputing parties’ rights, with the parties instead agreeing to a “win-win” solution that meets their respective concerns.
Recognising this, our disputes lawyers are adept in mediation and negotiation advocacy, aimed at assisting the parties (and mediator) in identifying and achieving that “win-win” solution.
Negotiation involves an interactive discussion between the disputing parties. In contrast, mediation is a dynamic process where a neutral third party assists the disputing parties in resolving their conflict through the use of specialised communication and negotiation techniques.
Under Singapore law, mediation is private and confidential. Settlement agreements arrived at through mediation can also be converted to Orders or Judgments of the Singapore courts for easier enforcement.

In certain disputes, a party may not be adequately protected while the case makes its way through the court or arbitration process. For instance, a party may be :
Our lawyers therefore have expertise in applying for (and resisting applications for) emergency relief and injunctions, including the following :
We have to-date handled cases involving Mareva (Freezing) Injunctions with a combined value in excess of US$ 1 billion.
Also, in 2016, we successfully obtained the first reported interim injunction in Singapore against a wife-litigant to restrain her use of WhatsApp and iPhone data that she and her private investigator had unlawfully copied from her husband’s notebook computer without his knowledge or consent.

We firmly believe in the best possible legal representation for our clients. Our clients are therefore not limited to engaging counsel solely from within our firm, especially where the issues in dispute are highly technical or complex, or where the stakes are extremely high – as in “bet the company” litigation or arbitration.
To enhance our capabilities in high-stakes or complex cases, we have on occasion instructed the very best King’s Counsel from the United Kingdom to assist with specialist legal opinions, and to appear as counsel before the Singapore courts or in Singapore arbitrations, on an ad-hoc basis.
As an example, in October 2013, working with Toby Landau KC from Essex Court Chambers as lead counsel, we successfully represented PT First Media Tbk (a “Lippo” group company) in resisting the enforcement of over 99% of five SIAC awards, in the Singapore courts. Of the total amount of S$352 million (US$250 million) awarded in favour of various “Astro” group companies, only approx. US$700,000 was ruled to be enforceable, given that the rest of the awards lacked jurisdiction. This has become a landmark arbitration case in Singapore, commonly known today as the “Astro-Lippo” dispute.

We have also represented clients in the enforcement of defamation settlements.
