Herbert Smith Freehills-SMU Asian Arbitration Lecture 2023

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia Synopsis  Widely hailed as a success, the Singapore Convention on Mediation entered into force in September 2020.  It provides the framework for negotiated settlements to be enforced in the same manner as arbitral awards, thereby obviating one impediment to mediation – the fear that a resulting agreement will not be honoured.  Yet it is not clear that mediations, and in particular those involving state-owned entities, will necessarily follow in the wake of the Convention.  Other barriers – political, institutional, social, practical, and even criminal – constrain state-owned entities from settling cases, and influence their strategy and tactics in commercial and investment arbitrations as well.  What are these obstacles, and can they be surmounted to facilitate the negotiated settlement of more high-stakes disputes?

Jones Day Professorship of Commercial Law Lecture 2023

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia The concept of corporate legal personality is a legal fiction, which emanated from the desire to simplify complex legal relationships in which the corporation is a counterparty. Merely a means to an end, it may lead to inappropriate, or even unjust, consequences, if strictly applied. The archetypical example of such injustice arises when a controlling shareholder, who has been blatantly ignoring corporate formalities, tries to hide behind the “corporate veil” to avoid corporate creditors. In most jurisdictions, the court deals with this problem by “piercing the corporate veil.” Thus, it is now well-known that although a corporation is a separate legal person, its liabilities may sometimes be imposed on its shareholders – blurring the concept of the corporation as a separate legal person. The degree to which corporate personality is respected varies considerably depending on the jurisdiction. South Korea, for example, belongs to a group of jurisdictions where corporate personality is strictly observed. In othe… Subtitle: Reexamining Corporate Personality Through the Lens of Reflective Loss. Fee(s): Complimentary. Contact: ccla@smu.edu.sg.
