Legal professional privilege is of fundamental importance to both providers and users of legal services, but remains in many respects a technical and often overlooked area of law. The comprehensive treatment afforded to the subject in this book makes it a valuable resource for all practising lawyers, in-house counsel, courts and arbitrators, both in Singapore and in other common law jurisdictions.

This second edition is revised and updated to reflect the 2020 Revised Edition of Acts, the new Rules of Court 2021 and the Singapore International Commercial Court Rules 2021, as well as a number of important local and international judgments handed down since the publication of the first edition.

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.
