Students from the Singapore Management University won the inaugural Ian Fletcher International Insolvency Law Moot Competition held in Sydney, Australia.

This competition aims to encourage students to learn about the complexities in international insolvency law and commercial litigation, by challenging them with various legal scenarios.

The judging panel comprised Federal Court of Australia Chief Justice James Allsop, United Kingdom Lord Justice of Appeal David Richards, and former US Bankruptcy Court judge Allan Gropper.

Earlier this year, an SMU team also became the first Singapore team to win a moot competition involving investment arbitration in Frankfurt, Germany.
