Singapore, as a regional hub for dispute resolution, has been developing its framework for the reciprocal enforcement of foreign judgments. The reciprocal enforcement regime is now set to be consolidated under the Reciprocal Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act (“REFJA“). The Commonwealth countries with which Singapore has reciprocal enforcement arrangements will be duly transferred to the REFJA from 1 March 2023.
The transfer of Commonwealth countries to the REFJA will also serve to expand the scope of registrable judgments from the listed countries, providing greater efficiency for foreign litigants seeking to enforce their judgments in Singapore. This Update highlights the key features of this development.
