A five-member Court of Appeal heard its first Admiralty case in Singapore in January 2015. It reversed the decision of the Singapore High Court, finding that the vessel STX MUMBAI could be lawfully arrested on the basis of an anticipatory breach. The reasoned judgment from the panel of the five appeal judges is eagerly awaited.
