The Unimportance Of Being "Electronic" Or Popular Misconceptions About “Internet Contracting”, Eliza Mik
The Unimportance Of Being "Electronic" Or Popular Misconceptions About “Internet Contracting”, Eliza Mik
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Existing e-commerce literature abounds with misconceptions regarding both technology and contract law. Long-standing legal concepts are adorned with “e-” or “cyber-” to appear more exciting. The traditional contractual regime issupplanted with new principles instead of being supplemented with technological considerations. It is one thing, to include technology in legal analyses, it is another to create separate, technology-specific categories. Separate categories justify the departure from traditional principles. Most, if not all, alleged “challenges” created by new communication scenarios fit within the existing legal framework, technological complexity and novelty of the Internet notwithstanding. Most “challenges” are also unrelated to the fact that …
Responsibility Of Schools In Dispensing Equal Justice: A Singapore Case Study, Rathna Nathan
Responsibility Of Schools In Dispensing Equal Justice: A Singapore Case Study, Rathna Nathan
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The gap between the needs of indigents and the state subsidised legal services or pro bono legal services exist in all societies. Traditionally, the state and the legal fraternity have assumed responsibility to bridge this gap. Law schools have traditionally and culturally confined themselves to the academic instruction of the law. This paper considers whether law schools have an equal responsibility to plug this gap. Four main issues are considered. First, law schools have a professional responsibility to instill legal professionalism in law students, which includes educating students in a pro bono culture. Second, these responsibilities can be effectively discharged …
The Unresolved Legality Of Online Gambling In Singapore, Siyuan Chen
The Unresolved Legality Of Online Gambling In Singapore, Siyuan Chen
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
This article addresses what appears to be a hitherto (legislatively and judicially) unresolved issue in a country where gambling is an established sub-culture – the legality of online gambling. The existing legislation does not provide direct answers, and as a result, the courts have not been given the opportunity to answer the question directly either. The police have previously made a few statements to the press and the media, but what should we make of them? While placing bets with unauthorised bookies (including those who operate their own website or use others’ websites) is clearly outlawed, leaving the offender with …
Sham Marriages, Ancillary Powers, And Moral Discourse: Toh Seok Kheng V. Huang Huiqun; Adp V. Adq, Siyuan Chen
Sham Marriages, Ancillary Powers, And Moral Discourse: Toh Seok Kheng V. Huang Huiqun; Adp V. Adq, Siyuan Chen
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Is marriage an institution (of public morality) or a contract (of private ordering)? In Toh Seok Kheng, the High Court concluded that it was unable to declare a “sham marriage” void just because the motives behind the marriage seemed improper. In ADP, the High Court held that since a void marriage meant there was no marriage to begin with, the “wife” was not entitled to maintenance, and there could not have been any “matrimonial assets” to be divided, unless she had a strong “moral” claim. This piece considers how the aforementioned moral-contractual dichotomy emerges in these cases.
Paying It Forward: The Case For A Specific Statutory Limitation On Exclusive Rights For User-Generated Content Under Copyright Law, Warren B. Chik
Paying It Forward: The Case For A Specific Statutory Limitation On Exclusive Rights For User-Generated Content Under Copyright Law, Warren B. Chik
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
This article examines user-generated content (“UGC”) and the significance of re-inventions in the context of an increasingly user-centric internet environment and an information sharing society. It will explain the need to provide a statutory limitation in the form of an exception or exemption for socially beneficial UGC on the exclusive rights under copyright law. This will also have the effect of protecting the internet intermediary that hosts and shares UGC. Nascent but abortive attempts have been made by Canada to introduce just such a provision into her copyright legislation, while some principles and rules have also emerged from various interest …

Raising The Bar For The Mens Rea Requirement In Common Intention Cases, Eunice Chua
Raising The Bar For The Mens Rea Requirement In Common Intention Cases, Eunice Chua
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Recently, the Court of Appeal in Daniel Vijay s/o Katherasan v. Public Prosecutor took the view that the law on common intention was not adequately settled in Singapore despite the 138-year history of s.34 of the Penal Code. It went on to give an extensive review of the cases interpreting the section as well as its Indian equivalent, before setting out the proper approach to take in "twin crime" common intention cases, focusing specifically on the mens rea element required in order to establish constructive liabilityfor the secondary crime. This case note seeks to highlight the changes brought about by …
Codification, Macaulay And The Indian Penal Code [Book Review], Siyuan Chen
Codification, Macaulay And The Indian Penal Code [Book Review], Siyuan Chen
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
As noted (at vii) by the contributors to this book, the Indian Penal Code 1860 (Central Act 45 of 1860) (“IPC”), largely the work of Thomas Macaulay, “was the first codification of criminal law in the British Empire and is the longest serving code in the common law world.” Upon its enactment, the influential IPC was adopted in various British colonies, such as Singapore. The continuing use of legislation of such pedigree, however, brings about several problems. Any legislative inertia to update the statute from time to time will put the judiciary in a dilemma, whenever the latter is asked …
The Relationship Between International Law And Domestic Law: Yong Vui Kong V Pp [2010] 3 Slr 489 [Case Note], Siyuan Chen
The Relationship Between International Law And Domestic Law: Yong Vui Kong V Pp [2010] 3 Slr 489 [Case Note], Siyuan Chen
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The Court of Appeal in Yong Vui Kong v PP [2010] 3 SLR 489 recently addressed at length the issue of the constitutionality of the mandatory death penalty. In the main, the appellant had argued that the mandatory death penalty was unconstitutional because it violated Art 9(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore (1999 Rev Ed), which states that: “No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty save in accordance with law.” The court ultimately rejected this argument. This piece focuses on the main international law issue emanating from the said constitutional challenge, viz, the …

The Report explains NADRAC’s understanding of the breadth of the concept of integrity as it applies to ADR processes, canvasses the views of interested parties about the integrity of …
The Shareholder’S Personal Claim: Allowing Recovery For Reflective Loss, Pearlie Koh
The Shareholder’S Personal Claim: Allowing Recovery For Reflective Loss, Pearlie Koh
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
An absolute application of the no reflective loss principle can result in unfairness. As such, retaining judicial discretion in the area will do much to ensure that genuine causes are not denied remedy. However, even as our courts appear prepared to allow a shareholder to recover for reflective loss, it is important that corporate autonomy is accorded due respect, and not be obscured by an overconsideration of policy concerns. To ensure this, the courts should allow recovery only if the right asserted by the shareholder is one that is separate and independent of the company’s right.

Contractual Interpretation In Singapore After Zurich Insurance: Continued Refinement, Yihan Goh
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
Ever since Lord Hoffmann’s authoritative restatement of the principles relating to the interpretation of contracts in Investors Compensation Scheme v West Bromwich Building Society, various common law courts and academics have weighed in with their views on two main issues: whether the contextual approach articulated in Investors in fact represents a step forward from the traditional literal approach; and, accepting the operation of the contextual approach, whether there remains room for the exclusion of certain extrinsic evidence in interpreting contracts. But the foremost consideration underpinning these issues is that of the perceived uncertainty which the contextual approach brings. The Singapore …
