s 11 Jurisdiction of Singapore chosen court
11.—(1) A Singapore court, designated in an exclusive choice of court agreement for the purposes of deciding a dispute, has jurisdiction to decide the dispute, unless the agreement is null and void under the law of Singapore. (2) A Singapore court that has jurisdiction under subsection (1) cannot decline to exercise jurisdiction on the ground that the dispute should be decided in a court of another State. (3) Despite subsections (1) and (2), a Singapore court may decline to exercise jurisdiction in any other circumstances that the Minister may prescribe by regulations made under section 22. (4) Subsections (1) and (2) do not affect any written law that —(a) restricts the subject matter or value of a claim that a Singapore court has jurisdiction to decide; or (b) allocates jurisdiction to different courts in Singapore. (5) Where a chosen court in Singapore has a discretion whether to transfer to another Singapore court a case to which an exclusive choice of court agreement applies, the chosen court must, before exercising that discretion, take into account the parties’ choice of court.
