Case Significance
GNC Holdings LLC v ONI Global Pte Ltd and another [2026] SGHC(I) 11 was decided in the Singapore International Commercial Court by Chua Lee Ming J, Simon Thorley IJ and James Allsop IJ, with judgment delivered on 23 July 2026 by James Allsop IJ. The court had enforced an arbitral award of 14 August 2024, and the Court of Appeal later allowed GNC's appeal so the whole Award was enforced. In Summons No 43 of 2026, GNC sought all employment contracts of store-level employees at the 54 former franchise stores before deciding which stores to reopen. The issue was whether the court could widen the orders through the liberty to apply clause, O 1 r 11 of the SICC Rules or inherent power. The court held it had no such authority and dismissed the application with full costs.
