The process or strategy with which we can resolve the dispute outside a Court can be stated as Arbitration. Specifically speaking about International Commercial Arbitration, it can be stated as the alternative dispute resolving method between private parties that are commercial in nature conducted in different nations which will help in avoiding legal action in the National Forum. With changing technology and rapid increase in economic status, India is establishing itself in the world of international commercial trade. Countries like China, USA, Singapore, United Kingdom has set astonishing examples in the world of Commercial Arbitration. The arbitration proceedings have been universally accepted with uniform standard norms by UNCITRAL Model Law which has been followed by countries practicing commercial trade. In this research work, the analysis of Singapore Law regarding its National Commercial arbitration would help us to analyze about why it has been accepted as the most preferred destinations as like London.
