In collaboration with the Singapore Judicial College and Academy Publishing, this is the first bench series in Singapore featuring the philosophy which drives the pedagogy of the Singapore Judicial College – first, to have judges teaching judges; and second, delivering judicial education that is relevant in the judicial context.

Fact-Finding and Reality may well be the very first attempt to examine important aspects of judicial decision-making, reasoning and fact-finding from the lens of a serving Singapore judge. The discussion links to how judges evaluate evidence and assess the credibility of witnesses, distilling and synthesising established theories from a corpus of literature on the subject and contextualising them using Singapore cases. An invaluable bench guide, this monograph is a must-read for all judges in Singapore, especially those newly appointed to the bench.

The present book documents Dr Yong Pung How’s monumental contributions to Singapore in the fields of law as well as banking and finance. In particular, as Chief Justice, he transformed the Singapore judiciary and mentored the next generation of leaders in the legal profession. The Singapore legal system would not be what it is today without his leadership. Including contributions from 64 former Justices’ Law Clerks, Foreword by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Introduction by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, and a full-colour picture section covering Dr Yong’s life from student at Cambridge University to Chancellor of the Singapore Management University, this important volume serves as a fitting commemoration for a true pioneer.

General Editor Andrew Phang SJ is a former Judge of Appeal. He was also Gen Ed of The Law of Contract in Singapore, the second edition of which was published in 2022.

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 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.
