Seminar on "Business Valuation Disputes in Singapore"

The measure of loss in many claims under contract and tort is often presented as a business valuation. With this discipline commonly being referred to as an art as much as a science it comes as no surprise that parties and their experts often have wildly differing views of the value lost and how it should be calculated.

The first half of this seminar will give attendees a broad understanding of business valuation terminology, principles, methods and practice through a worked case study. It will also touch on the professional and technical environment within which business valuation professionals operate as well as the form and content of their work product.

Drawing on a combination of the speaker’s own experience before courts and tribunals together with judgments of the Singapore and foreign courts and international tribunals in this area, the second half of the seminar will cover:

- the causes of disputes over business valuations;

- how they have been dealt with by the courts; and

- alternative outcomes that could have been achieved.
