On 14 November 2025, ASEAN insolvency judges and ASEAN intellectual property (IP) judges held two separate meetings and panel discussions with practitioners in their respective fields. The meetings were jointly organised by the CACJ and ASEAN Law Association.
The session on insolvency explored the current landscape of insolvency laws across ASEAN, examining how economic trends and geopolitical developments influenced stakeholder decision-making in restructuring and insolvency matters. Practical issues, such as challenges in recognising and enforcing insolvency judgments, and the legal treatment of rescue financing, were also discussed. The panel also highlighted successful strategies and the benefits of communication channels between specialist insolvency judges in the region.
The session on IP discussed the substantive and procedural challenges generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) poses to IP law, including patent and copyright issues, as well as evidentiary and jurisdictional complexities. It examined legal developments in GenAI governance across ASEAN and explored global trends relevant to the region. Potential issues arising from GenAI’s advancement and how alternative dispute resolution could address cross-border IP disputes were also considered by the panel.
