Introduction to The SICC
Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon introduced the idea to create the Singapore International Commercial Court (SICC) at the Opening of Legal Year 2013. A high-level committee comprising of esteemed local and international lawyers, jurists and experts was assigned to study the viability of establishing the SICC and to recommend a suitable framework. The SICC was subsequently launched on 5 January 2015 with a view to expanding the legal services sector and broadening the scope for the internationalisation of Singapore law.
