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.

The Syariah Court of Singapore hears and determines disputes on Muslim marriages, divorces, the ancillary matters thereto and betrothal as prescribed by the Administration of Muslim Law Act. Cases at first instance are heard by the Syariah Court. Appeals from decisions of the Syariah Court are heard by the Appeal Board.

Each appeal is heard by a separately-constituted Appeal Board. Published by the Syariah Court, the Singapore Syariah Appeals Reports is the official report series of grounds of decisions delivered by the Appeal Board. Where no grounds of decision were issued by the Appeal Board, the decision of the Syariah Court would be reported, followed by the Order of the Appeal Board. Where the decision is delivered in Malay, the original Malay version of the Appeal Board or Syariah Court decision is reported together with its English translation.

Each report carries a catchword summary of the case highlighting the main issues decided; commentaries and updates in the form of “Notes” appear at the end of the report, where appropriate. Citations of Quranic verses referred to in a decision are listed in the case report. Volume 9 features the significant cases decided by the Appeal Board and the Syariah Court between 2021 and 2024.

This book provides a balance between analytical discussion of the principles and the practical application of the law and includes numerous illustrations and practice-related situations for this purpose. It offers students an intensely detailed and integrated portrait of the litigation process (including procedure and advocacy) and is therefore a vital source of reference for their studies. This book recognises that this subject is particularly difficult primarily because of the difficulties inherent in the Evidence Act (a significant part of which remains in the state it was enacted in 1893), and the tension between this statute and the constantly developing common law. No effort is spared in tackling these problems and examining all applicable sources of law. This highly successful publication has already sold thousands of copies in the course of the first seven editions.

This invaluable title includes in-depth discussion from an international perspective of the principles of commercial arbitration (and investment-state arbitration) with a principal focus on English law and practice but with extensive reference to the law of other major arbitral jurisdictions, including Singapore, Hong Kong, France and Australia, and to the rules of major arbitral institutions.

It combines expert commentary on the origins, essence and characteristics of the Arbitration Act 1996 with practical guidance on the application of the Act both in arbitration and in court. The commentary seeks to identify, analyse and offer answers to points of potential controversy. It discusses the forthcoming amendments to the Arbitration Act 1996 in the Arbitration Bill 2024 which followed on from the Law Commission review of the arbitration law of England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Over twenty years have passed since the Companion to the Second Edition was published, this new edition has been completely rewritten to reflect expert consideration of the latest case law and proposed statutory reforms, while at the same time seeking to preserve the analytical strength and comprehensiveness of treatment which made the first two editions of this book an invaluable treatment of this important subject. In addition, the book now includes chapters considering the particular characteristics of institutional arbitration, and three chapters addressing investor-state dispute resolution, which has become increasingly important over the two decades since the 2001 Companion.
