Singapore Arbitration Act 2001
(1) This Act applies to arbitration proceedings commenced on or after 1 March 2002 but the parties may in writing agree that this Act applies to arbitration proceedings commenced before that date.
(2) Despite the repeal of the Arbitration Act (Cap. 10, 1985 Revised Edition), where the arbitration proceedings were commenced before 1 March 2002, the law governing the arbitration agreement and the arbitration is the law which would have applied if this Act had not been enacted.
(3) Where an arbitration agreement made or entered into before 1 March 2002 provides for the appointment of an umpire or an arbitral tribunal comprising 2 arbitrators, the law to the extent that it governs the appointment, role and function of the umpire is the law which would have applied if this Act had not been enacted.
(4) For the purposes of this section, arbitration proceedings are to be taken as having commenced on the date of the receipt by the respondent of a request for the dispute to be referred to arbitration, or, where the parties have agreed in writing that any other date is to be taken as the date of commencement of the arbitration proceedings, then on that date.
