Report of the Fourth SIFoCC Full Meeting - Sydney (PDF, 4.3 MB)

The fourth full meeting of the Standing International Forum of Commercial Courts (SIFoCC) was a welcome opportunity for the membership to meet in person for the first time since the second full meeting of SIFoCC in 2018 in New York.

Following the success of the third full meeting hosted online by Singapore in 2021, the hosts in Sydney delivered SIFoCC’s first hybrid full meeting.

Although there is no equivalent for meeting in person, the format of a hybrid meeting has proved its value and is likely to be a permanent feature of SIFoCC’s full meetings going forward.

The fourth full meeting saw a record attendance in terms of overall numbers and range of jurisdictions, and breadth and depth of delegations. The content was focused on issues of great relevance, which engaged all. Important relationships were made or developed further, and ideas shared and explored. SIFoCC’s next full meeting will take place in the Middle East in early 2024.
