Singapore High Court: arbitration clause contained in a contract binds third party to a supplemental agreement | Practical Law
The Singapore High Court has considered whether an arbitration clause in a contract bound a third party who subsequently entered into supplemental agreements with the original parties. Rather than viewing the supplemental agreements (which did not expressly refer to the arbitration clause in the original contract) in isolation, the High Court found that, based on an objective interpretation of the agreements together, the parties must have intended that the arbitration clause in the original contract should apply to the supplemental agreements as well.
