• the willingness of arbitral tribunals to award summary judgment and strike out claims and defences;
• parties' ability to enforce interim awards overseas; and
• recent changes to Indian law affecting interim relief in arbitration. The speakers will cover developments in Singapore and elsewhere, and there will be an opportunity for participants to engage with the speakers on each of these topics.
