Assessment of Costs and Proceedings Otherwise Than in Open Court (opens in a new tab)

Abstract

Abstract This chapter discusses the assessment of costs by an arbitral tribunal, as well as the confidentiality of court proceedings relating to arbitration, with reference to Sections 21, 22, and 23 of the IAA. Section 21 of the IAA addresses the assessment of costs and provides that an award for costs would be taxable by the Registrar of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre unless the award otherwise directs. Section 22 of the IAA provides that proceedings under the IAA are to be heard in private although a court, on its own motion, or the application by a person (including a non-party), could order proceedings to be heard in open court. Section 23 provides that, to the extent that a hearing is heard in camera, the court may give directions as to whether, and if so what, information relating to the proceedings may be published.
