Overview

This seminar will discuss the use of Singapore law as a governing law in cross-border lending transactions. We will cover some of the key implications that follow where a loan transaction is governed by Singapore law, including in relation to documentation, lending and collateral structures, enforcement and foreign recognition, and the effects of insolvency and the IRDA. We will also discuss some of the differences between English law and Singapore law, particularly in the context of insolvency, as well as the recent English decision in Prosafe and its implications for the choice of Singapore law cross-border financings.

Cases in the last decade have shown that psychiatric evidence presented by the Prosecution are often preferred by the Court than that presented by the Defence. This seminar aims to delve into the reasons for so and to identify the issues that may be hindering Defence psychiatrists from being able to present a more cogent assessment. The seminar will also explore possibilities of how psychiatric evidence ought to be heard and ventilated in court in the foreseeable future.
