Section on Business Law
The International Bar Association's Section on Business
Law will hold its 7th Biennial Conference in Singapore from
30 September to 4 October 1985.
The SBL's specialised committees will present a series
of studies in international legal problem solving,
including a simulated arbitration of a construction
dispute and case studies of the Eastern Scheldt Project
and the negotiation of a transnational record licensing
agreement. Distinguished practitioners from six
continents will consider such topical developments in
international business law as joint-venture construction
projects, recognition of foreign exchange control
regulations, decommisioning nuclear power plants,
barter and countertrade, trading in special and quasi-
securities, and the UN's legal guide for international
industrial works projects.
The Conference will focus in part on matters of
relevance to Asia and the Pacific Rim, such as interna-
tional dispute resolution in the People's Republic of
China, settlement of maritime claims in Singapore,
environmental protection in Southeast Asia, company
and partnership law in selected Asian countries,
insurance in Southeast Asia, mass transit in Singapore
and Hong Kong, harmonisation of laws in ASEAN,
taxation regimes in the Asian Pacific, trading Asian dollar
securities in Singapore and Hong Kong, and franchising
in the Pacific Rim.
