In this book, the authors propose a set of improved and modernised provisions expressing the general principles of criminal responsibility. This set of principles will comprise a “General Part” which, it is proposed, will form part of Singapore’s Penal Code. The key objective of devising and enacting the General Part is to significantly revitalise the Penal Code and restore many of its original technical attributes. Each chapter of this book comprises: (a) a carefully considered and drafted provision on a general principle of criminal responsibility; (b) a summary of the existing law in Singapore pertaining to that principle; (c) a selection of recent formulations of that principle from other jurisdictions to benchmark Singapore’s law (both current and proposed) with international best practices; and (d) a comparison of these formulations with the provision proposed in this book for inclusion as a General Part in Singapore’s Penal Code.

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also represents the culmination of various phases of legislative reform – building on earlier amendments to the now repealed Bankruptcy Act and Companies Act.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.

As with the 1st Edition, this 2nd Edition examines the law relating to arbitral awards from two perspectives: awards resulting from arbitrations that are seated in Singapore and awards made elsewhere that are being enforced in Singapore. Since the 1st Edition was published, Singapore has become a top choice for place of arbitration. The volume of cases arriving before Singapore courts enabled many principles of arbitration to be debated and judicially articulated. Jurisprudence from Singapore courts is closely studied in other countries. Likewise, the Singapore judiciary carefully considers case law from other jurisdictions when faced with legal conundrums. This reciprocal influence is largely driven by the confluence of arbitration laws underpinned by the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards 1958 and the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, 1985 (amended 2006). This is especially so with regard to enforcement and challenges to arbitral awards, which are core topics in this book.

For this reason, the 1st Edition had been cited not only by the Singapore Supreme Court but also courts in jurisdictions from Australia to Brazil. Hence, this 2nd Edition should be of interest to all who have an interest in arbitration, whether in Singapore or elsewhere.
