Contract Laws of Asia – Indemnities (Softcopy)

This fully-cited and internally-hyperlinked publication covers 12 key jurisdictions for cross-border contracting for parties in the Asia Pacific: Australia, China, England and Wales, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New York law, the Philippines, Singapore Thailand and Vietnam.

Across 177 pages, the publication focuses on:

• Operation of indemnity clauses in contracts in the common law jurisdictions considered, such as when such clauses are commonly sought, the advantages and disadvantages of an indemnity, and how a claim under an indemnity clause differs from a claim for damages for breach of contract
• Whether the common law concept of indemnity exists in the civil law and hybrid jurisdictions considered, and if this concept does not exist, where are the analogous remedies available in those jurisdictions.

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.
