    [2026] SGHC 164
    Decision summary
    The court dismissed DVV's applications to set aside the Partial Final Award and Costs Award issued in the ad hoc domestic Sub-Contract Arbitration. It held that the complaints about the absence of immediate payment orders were substantively challenges to the awards, not ultra petita or agreed-procedure challenges, and awarded DVW the costs of both applications.
