The rationale for this book is two-fold. First, there have been recent changes to the Penal Code 1871  (“Penal Code”) in 2019  and more recently in 2022.  Apart from the stiffening of sentences in respect of, among others, the offence for outrage of modesty which is “probably the most common [sexual] offence”,  new offences were introduced, including offences intended to tackle emerging and evolving technology trends (such as voyeurism-related offences and the offence of sexual communication with a minor below 18 years of age); offences to increase protection for minors aged 16 to 18 where there is an element of sexual exploitation; and offences relating to child abuse material (for which there was only previously a “patchwork of laws” to address such offences). … It is fair to say that the criminal landscape on sexual offences has significantly evolved in recent years and this book seeks to, among other things, explore and analyse these material developments. Second, there has been a reported rise generally in the number of sexual offenders arrested and/or prosecuted in Singapore … Against this backdrop, we believe that a dedicated text on sexual offences is timely and relevant. … [A]part from being a repository for legal principles, evidence and procedure for sexual offences, it is the humble ambition of this book to facilitate the application of the sentencing frameworks and, ultimately, promote clarity, consistency and fairness in the sentencing of sexual offenders.

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.
