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also represents the culmination of various phases of legislative reform – building on earlier amendments to the now repealed Bankruptcy Act and Companies Act.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

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.
