Fact-Finding and Reality : A Judicial Decision-Making Primer

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.

Singapore Syariah Appeals Reports (2021-2024)

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 monograph outlines the evolution and current dispute resolution methods adopted in the State Courts of Singapore.

This publication concisely sets out the CDRC’s history, mission, legal frameworks and processes. It attempts a deep dive into judgeled dispute resolution, case management, Court ADR modalities, settlement procedures, harnessing technology and the work of the International Judicial Dispute Resolution Network. The aim is to offer readers insights into the CDRC’s initiatives and the benefits of judgeled court dispute resolution.

Division of Matrimonial Assets in Singapore: An Empirical Study

How have Singapore’s courts navigated the evolving and often contentious landscape of division of matrimonial assets upon divorce? Through an extensive empirical study of matrimonial cases in Singapore, this monograph offers fresh insights into the historical and jurisprudential development of the division of matrimonial assets in its courts. It examines how legal reforms – from the Women’s Charter amendments in 1980 and 1996 to the “structured approach” introduced in ANJ v ANK (2015) – have influenced judicial practices in this area of Singapore family law. By drawing on comprehensive datasets on local matrimonial cases, it proposes a principled methodology for equitable asset division grounded in partnership law principles. Essential reading for family law judges and practitioners, policymakers, and social workers, this work is a key resource for stakeholders in the family law community in Singapore.
