At the Opening of the Legal Year in January 1996, the
Honourable Attorney-General, Mr Chan Sek Keong, proposed the
establishment of a commercial mediation centre in Singapore.
The Singapore Academy of Law followed up on this proposal
and began to provide a commercial mediation service in
December 1996. The Supreme Court facilitated the growth of
mediation by referring suitable cases for mediation.
Following the success of the pilot project initiated by the
Commercial Mediation Service Sub-Committee of the Singapore
Academy of Law under the chairmanship of Justice Goh Joon
Seng (now retired), the SMC was incorporated to give greater
operational autonomy to the commercial mediation service.
