2010 was a momentous year for Singapore arbitration law with the High Court's decision in AJT v. AJU marking the first time an arbitral award was set aside on the ground of public policy in Singapore. Unsurprisingly, that decision generated some comments. AJU appealed and the Court of Appeal, comprising Chan C.J., Rajah J.A. and Phang J.A., agreed withAJU and reinstated the arbitral award. Although the final result is unquestionably right, the court's reasoning is arguably controversial. This case note queries whether the Court of Appeal had intended to go as far as the judgment seems to suggest. It suggests that in the final analysis, the promotion of arbitration is a policy that has limits, particularly when the State's public policies are involved.
