Reliance Infra vs Shanghai Electric: Reason for Awarding Costs (16/04/2024)

16 April 2024: The Singapore International Commercial Court awarded costs to Shanghai Electric in the amount of US$734,660.02. This decision came after Reliance Infrastructure's unsuccessful application to set aside an arbitral award, which awarded damages to Shanghai Electric. Shanghai Electric had incurred various costs, with Reliance Infrastructure claiming its costs should be limited to S$225,000. The court found Shanghai Electric's costs generally reasonable and proportionate, but moderated the costs claimed for Singapore counsel’s fees. The decision took into account the disparity in costs estimates and the extensive nature of the proceedings. The final cost awarded reflects a balance between subjective costs incurred and objective reasonableness.
