Constitutional Interpretation in Singapore
Author: Jaclyn L NeoPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317428099
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 410
Book Description
At the heart of constitutional interpretation is the struggle between, on the one hand, fidelity to founding meanings, and, on the other hand, creative interpretation to suit the context and needs of an evolving society. This book considers the recent growth of constitutional cases in Singapore in the last ten years. It examines the underpinnings of Singapore’s constitutional system, explores how Singapore courts have dealt with issues related to rights and power, and sets developments in Singapore in the wider context of new thinking and constitutional developments worldwide. It argues that Singapore is witnessing a shift in legal and political culture as both judges and citizens display an increasing willingness to engage with constitutional ideas and norms.

Book Description
The Singapore Law Review is an independent legal publication body, exclusively run by students of the National University of Singapore, Faculty of Law. The Review's illustrious history began in 1959, with the pioneer publication of the student-run legal journal titled Me Judice in the University of Malaya. Following the independence of Singapore in 1965, the journal was subsequently renamed the Singapore Law Review in 1969. Apart from a publication hiatus between 1972 and 1979, the Singapore Law Review has been published annually ever since. Each Volume of the Journal features between six to eight articles written by Justices of the Supreme Court, eminent scholars, legal practitioners, and law students from Singapore and abroad. The topics of the publications similarly cover a wide range from the study of jurisprudence, to cutting-edge empirical research on legal matters, to discussions about recent legal developments, both locally and internationally. Our strict editorial process ensures that the articles found in the Journal meet the highest benchmark of legal writing.

Contract Law in Singapore
Author: Andrew B.L. PhangPublisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403534400
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 900
Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the law of contracts in Singapore covers every aspect of the subject – definition and classification of contracts, contractual liability, relation to the law of property, good faith, burden of proof, defects, penalty clauses, arbitration clauses, remedies in case of non-performance, damages, power of attorney, and much more. Lawyers who handle transnational contracts will appreciate the explanation of fundamental differences in terminology, application, and procedure from one legal system to another, as well as the international aspects of contract law. Throughout the book, the treatment emphasizes drafting considerations. An introduction in which contracts are defined and contrasted to torts, quasi-contracts, and property is followed by a discussion of the concepts of ‘consideration’ or ‘cause’ and other underlying principles of the formation of contract. Subsequent chapters cover the doctrines of ‘relative effect’, termination of contract, and remedies for non-performance. The second part of the book, recognizing the need to categorize an agreement as a specific contract in order to determine the rules which apply to it, describes the nature of agency, sale, lease, building contracts, and other types of contract. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Singapore will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative contract law.
