SINGAPORE - A new appellate court may be introduced to support the current Court of Appeal with its caseload that has increased by more than 50 per cent over the past five years.
This comes as the total number of civil and criminal cases before the Court of Appeal rose by 56 per cent to 490 last year, compared with 314 cases in 2013, as Singapore positions itself as an international hub for dispute resolution services, he added. Various options are being studied by the Ministry of Law that will allow appeals from the High Court to be distributed between the two appellate courts, and for a pool of judges to sit in the new court.
