 In the case of Shanghai Electric Group Co Ltd v PT Merak Energi Indonesia and another [2010] SGHC 2, the Singapore High Court decided that an injunction restraining the payment of an on-demand bond was to be governed by its substantive law. In determining whether the ex parte interim injunction should be discharged, the Court declined to apply the procedural law of the forum. Instead, the Court gave effect to the law contractually stipulated by parties to govern payment of the on-demand bond. This Update provides a summary of the case.
This Update relates to SGX's consultation paper issued on 6 January 2010 proposing amendments to the listing rules to firstly, revise the admission criteria for the SGX-ST Main Board; secondly, facilitate the listing of Special Purpose Acquisition Companies and lastly, codify the measures for secondary fund raising.
