The Singapore Court of Appeal has set aside an international arbitral award involving a government railway contract after finding that the award had significant portions that were “copied and pasted” from two similar Indian arbitration awards.
“Out of the 451 paragraphs in the award, it was undisputed that at least 212 paragraphs were copied and pasted from the parallel awards,” the order noted on Tuesday. Parallel Awards is a reference to two Indian arbitrations that were held parallel to the Singapore arbitration involving the same parties.
