FULL INTEGRATION. This Transaction Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings or negotiations, whether written or oral. If the mediation is successful, the parties enter into a settlement agreement that can be enforced under the Singapore Mediation Act. With the deposit of the third instrument of ratification, the Singapore Mediation Convention will enter into force on 12 September 2020. This essentially makes it possible to impose or enforce international settlement agreements negotiated in a signatory jurisdiction. The High Court has accepted an injunction to enforce the settlement contract. First, Justice Commissioner Vincent Hoong found that investors had the implicit power to enter into the settlement agreement with Law on Behalf of Alphire. The Tribunal found that alphire`s directors were in fact subordinate to investors who have a direct influence on the management and operation of the business. It was reported that the Directors had responded and/or raised with investors questions relating to the management, operation and profitability of Alphire. In addition, the General Court expressly found that the substantial participation of the investors in the financial affairs of the undertaking led to the irresistible conclusion that they had an implied power to conclude a settlement agreement on an outstanding judgment debt in favour of Alphire. The parties also agree that after the commencement of the arbitration, they will endeavour, in good faith, to resolve disputes referred to arbitration by mediation at the Singapore Mediation Centre (“SMC”) in accordance with the current AMA SCMA Protocol [see Annex C of the SCMA Rules (3rd Edition, October 2015). Any agreement reached during the mediation shall be referred to the arbitral tribunal designated in accordance with the rules of the SCMA and may be made in accordance with agreed terms. A settlement agreement that is not registered with the District Court is nevertheless a legally binding contract.
However, if one of the parties breaches the terms of the settlement agreement, the settlement agreement must first be subject to legal action and obtain a court order before enforcement action can be taken against the defaulting party. They can agree on legal and non-legal solutions that meet their interests and needs. In the event of non-recourse, the mediation procedure often provides additional clarification on the extent and nature of the dispute. This can help streamline any subsequent disputes or arbitrations. SIMC mediation also has a unique advantage in terms of applicability: settlement agreements can be concluded under an Arb-Med-Arb protocol between the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC) and the ISCM. In the event of non-recourse, the mediation procedure often provides additional clarification on the extent and nature of the dispute. . .
