Singapore’s insolvency and debt restructuring framework has undergone tremendous change in the last decade. From the incorporation of elements of the US Chapter 11 bankruptcy regime and adoption of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, to the restriction of the application of ipso facto clauses, these reforms ensure that the regime continues to remain responsive to the needs of debtors, creditors and the economy.

With the coming into force of the Insolvency Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018 in July 2020, the Act consolidates the personal and corporate insolvency provisions, previously found in two separate statutes, into a single piece of legislation. This also represents the culmination of various phases of legislative reform – building on earlier amendments to the now repealed Bankruptcy Act and Companies Act.

As Singapore’s principal insolvency legislation and one of the largest standalone bills introduced in Parliament, Annotated Guide to the Singapore Insolvency Legislation – Corporate Insolvency provides detailed commentary on the various provisions in the Act in a simple and clear manner. This includes references to case law, comparable legislation and law reform recommendations.

Authored by the persons who worked on the Act, this offers an authoritative and comprehensive account not only for insolvency professionals, but also anyone seeking a starting point to better understand the Act.

Understanding of the principles of conflict of laws is essential to lawyers who aim to service the highly globalised and interconnected economy of Singapore. This book deals with the central principles, methodologies, and controversies in the subject, with a focus on topics that are relevant to commercial transactions. It examines the jurisdiction of the Singapore courts (including the Singapore International Commercial Court) in cross-border litigation, the effect of foreign judgments in Singapore, choice of law methodologies and their particular application to contractual and non-contractual obligations and inter vivos property transactions. The common law principles are discussed in the context of the framework of Singapore legislation, including the Choice of Court Agreements Act 2016 (implementing the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements), the refreshed Reciprocal Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act 1959, as well as the new Rules of Court 2021.

The Singapore Mental Capacity Act 2008 (2020 Rev Ed) (“MCA”), enacted in 2008 and implemented in 2010, celebrates 15 years as a vital part of Singapore’s legal landscape. The MCA establishes a framework for making decisions on behalf of individuals aged 21 and above who lack mental capacity, safeguarding their welfare and interests. Although modelled after its English counterpart, the MCA has since evolved through local developments to address Singapore’s unique societal and legal context.

With Singapore navigating the challenges of an ageing population and working towards building a more inclusive society for individuals with mental disabilities, it is increasingly important for practitioners and policymakers to appreciate the MCA’s provisions and applications.

Jointly written by a team of legal experts drawing on their diverse experiences in the judiciary, practice, and academia, this book offers interested readers a practical and in-depth commentary on the MCA.
