At the recent opening of Singapore legal year 2020, it was announced that the Supreme Court of Singapore will be restructured to establish an appellate division of the High Court (“Appellate Division”). This marks the latest significant reform to the judicial system in Singapore following the establishment of the Singapore International Commercial Court (“SICC”) in 2015.
The new Appellate Division is expected to come into operation in the second half of 2020. This article provides an overview of the core features of the new Supreme Court structure and accompanying procedural amendments. As has been stated by the Ministry of Law, these reforms are designed to enhance the efficiency and flexibility of the court process and facilitate the timely resolution of appeals.
