Special Report on SCL(S) Conference 2017 - Outcome of a Survey by the Eminent Mr Chow Kong Fong

Outcome of a Survey by the Eminent Mr Chow Kong Fong 

At the recent Annual Construction Law Conference 2017, the doyen of Singapore construction law, Mr Chow Kok Fong, took the opportunity to survey the audience’s views on 4 Singapore cases on construction law. Given that the audience included legal practitioners, in-house legal counsel and representatives from parties up and down the supply chain in the construction industry, the results were obviously eagerly anticipated. The results were as follows:

No

Question

Answer

Yes

No

1

 

Would the decision in Mansource Interior Pte Ltd v CSG Group lead a contractor to consider adjudication to lock in a valuation of an important claim item which cannot be disturbed until final judgment or award as opposed to leaving the valuation of the claim item to certificate which could be revised?

71%

29%

2

Would the ruling in Rong Shun Engineering v C P Ong Construction on severance make it easier to challenge an adjudication determination?

58%

42%

3

Would Ang Cheng Guan v Corporate Residences discourage respondent to lodge adjudication review applications?

49%

51%

4

 

Arising from Audi Construction v Kian Hiap, can a timeline be contrived to deliberately trip a claimant? Example - a provision which stipulates that a payment claim has to be served on 10.55 pm on 25th of the calendar

month?

67%

33%

 It is interesting to note that the audience was evenly divided on several of the questions and otherwise on others.

 For those who were lucky enough to be present at Mr Chow’s lecture, I am sure you would agree with me that it was an illuminating one.
