Cryptoassets and Civil Procedure Law (Singapore edition) examines how Singapore’s civil procedure law responds to the advent of cryptoassets.

It is divided into 13 parts. Each part is dedicated to a problem that a party to a civil proceeding before the Singapore courts may face. The solution provided by Singapore’s civil procedure law is discussed, as well as an analysis of how well that solution responds to the advent of cryptoassets. Given the borderless nature of cryptoassets, this publication also discusses the enforcement or recognition of Singapore court judgments by the courts of foreign jurisdictions.

Tackling the question of all questions, i.e., whether cryptoassets are property in the eyes of the law, Cryptoassets and Property Law (Singapore edition):

• considers evolving definitions that impact dealing in various forms of cryptoassets;
• delves into how the courts in Singapore are shaping the contours of case law in this largely unregulated space;
• analyses gaps in judicial responses and the existing statutory framework for treating cryptoassets as property; and
• puts forward options to better address those gaps.

SEMINAR ONLY

Topics that will be discussed in the seminar include:

i) Directors’ duties to creditors
The Court of Appeal in Foo Kian Beng v OP3 International Pte Ltd [2024] SGCA 10 laid down a two-stage approach which requires the court to first objectively determine which of three financial stages the company was in at the material time and then thereafter to examine the subjective intentions of the director to determine if he had acted in what he considered to be the best interests of the company.

ii) Finance assistance prohibition
The most important change introduced by the Companies (Amendment) Act 2014 was the complete removal of the financial assistance prohibition in relation to private companies that are not subsidiaries of a public parent. The Steering Committee initially toyed with the idea of abolishing financial assistance in its entirety and leaving the regulation of the factual matrix usually involved in the financial assistance prohibition to the application of directors’ duties alone in the context of all companies. However, after obtaining feedback during its consultation process, it recommended in June 2011 that section 76(1) of the Companies Act be abrogated only in relation to most private companies, which is fairly consistent with the position in the UK.
