Natural Forum And The Elusive Significance Of Jurisdiction Agreements, Tiong Min Yeo
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The Singapore court's power to stay its proceedings by reason of its not being the appropriate forum the proceedings ought not to be continued is underpinned by the common law principle enunciated in The Spiliada that generally a trial should be heard in its natural forum.
