Part of Singapore Convention Week 2025, this hybrid event explored the intersection between arbitration and insolvency through a central question: when should a winding up application be stayed in favour of arbitration? The discussion examined how courts approached stay applications where arbitration clauses existed, and how principles of party autonomy interacted with the collective nature of insolvency remedies.

The panel analysed recent decisions and practical issues including:

- Thresholds for a stay 
- Enforcement and jurisdictional challenges in cross-border matters
- Managing creditor rights and class remedies alongside party- agreed dispute resolution
- Interim relief and timing considerations in parallel court and arbitral proceedings

An event co-hosted by INSOL Asia Hub and Rajah & Tann Asia, in association with the INSOL Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Group.

Justice Anselmo Reyes, Singapore International Commercial Court
