Essential Criminal Law
2025-12-31Alexander Woon and Professor Walter Woon S.C

This book is intended for students and practitioners of Singapore criminal law. It aims to teach criminal law in a realistic fashion, and to that end, integrates elements of criminal procedure, sentencing and evidence, when relevant. The book makes extensive use of learning aids such as flowcharts and diagrams, to enhance clarity and speed comprehension. Sample charges for each offence discussed are also included, to assist practitioners and students with drafting.

The structure of the book follows the progress of an actual criminal case. It begins with an overview of the criminal justice system, followed by a discussion of prosecutorial discretion. Thereafter, it discusses the substantive law on common offences in Singapore, with an emphasis on offences that are likely to be encountered in practice. The analysis of such offences includes practical applications, such as related offences that commonly occur in the same case, and possible alternative charges that may be offered upon plea of guilt. Finally, general defences in criminal law are discussed.

Table of Contents:

  • Introduction to the Criminal Justice System
  • Prosecutorial Discretion
  • Elements of Offences
  • Modes of Liability
  • Offences of Violence (Criminal Force, Voluntarily Causing Hurt, Voluntarily Causing Grievous Hurt)
  • Homicide Offences (Death by Rash or Negligent Act, Culpable Homicide, Murder)
  • Sexual Offences (Voyeurism, Outrage of Modesty, Sexual Assault by Penetration, Rape)
  • Property Offences (Criminal Misappropriation, Theft, Criminal Breach of Trust)
  • White Collar and Corporate Crime (Cheating, Forgery, Falsification of Accounts)

The Law of Estoppel in Australia - Principles, Case Notes and Precedents
New Release
The Law of Estoppel in Australia - Principles, Case Notes and Precedents
2025-12-31Hon Steven Rares KC, Quintin Rares

Estoppel in Australia is the first and only comprehensive treatment of all forms of civil estoppel in Australia.  


The authors map each doctrine of estoppel in a dedicated chapter that includes a simplified overview, a thorough examination of elements, evidential requirements (including the burden of proof), case notes of the key authorities, defences, considerations for pleading and precedents of pleadings. This book distils complicated doctrines into a complete and litigation-ready guide.


Every statement of principle in the text is supported by direct quotation from one or more authorities. Every appellate decision in Australia’s history has been reviewed for the purposes of drafting this book, along with key first instance Australian decisions and all authoritative English decisions.


The co-authors of the text are a former Federal Court of Australia judge and a practising barrister.


The book is aimed at practitioners of all levels of experience and students


The Chief Justice of Australia, the Honourable Stephen Gageler AC, wrote in the foreword to the book that:


      … Any practitioner who has sought to rely on an estoppel will know that the task of researching the applicable law can be long and difficult, involving trawling through reported judgments to piece together bits of a puzzle of uncertain dimensions. Often those pieces do not fit together; sometimes they are contradictory. The picture that emerges can appear distorted.


This book does much to ease those burdens. The authors have provided a dedicated chapter for each of the most common species of estoppel that arise in litigation. These are taxonomized, appropriately, into three categories. The first category comprises “litigation estoppels”, being “cause of action estoppel”, “issue estoppel” and “Anshun estoppel”. The second category comprises “common law estoppels”: “estoppel by deed”, “estoppel by representation” and “estoppel by convention”. The third comprises “equitable estoppels”, being “promissory estoppel” and “proprietary estoppel”. Each chapter provides an explanation of the distinctions and similarities between the type of estoppel compared with others, and useful summaries of the key cases of each.


The book’s even greater contribution lies in the assistance it provides on matters of practice. Each chapter outlines the precise elements of the species of estoppel with which it deals, where the burden of proof lies, what evidence is needed to establish the estoppel, and any relevant defences. In every instance, the authors have grounded the text in a comprehensive and thorough citation of authority. Practitioners can rely on what has been said. Yet the book goes further. Each chapter provides helpful observations to assist practitioners with pleading the various estoppels, even going so far as to provide precedents for pleadings in a manner that is reminiscent of Bullen & Leake’s Precedents of Pleadings [Footnote: "Now in its 19th edition: see Brennan et al, Bullen & Leake & Jacob’s: Precedents of Pleadings (Sweet & Maxwell, 2022)"].


Table of Contents

  • -> Introduction
  • -> Common law estoppels - litigation
  • -> Cause of action estoppel and merger
  • -> Issue estoppel
  • -> Anshun estoppel
  • -> Common law estoppels – non-litigation
  • -> Estoppel by deed
  • -> Estoppel by representation
  • -> Estoppel by convention
  • -> Equitable estoppels
  • -> Promissory estoppel
  • -> Proprietary estoppel

Some estoppels are known by more than one name. This can cause confusion. In those cases, the relevant chapter in the text includes a disambiguation section that cuts through the confusion. To be clear this book covers all the following estoppels: litigation estoppel, cause of action estoppel, merger, claim estoppel, estoppel by record, res judicata, judgment recovered, issue estoppel, Anshun estoppel, Henderson v Henderson estoppel, estoppel by deed, estoppel by writing, the technical doctrine of estoppel, estoppel by representation, estoppel in pais, estoppel by convention, conventional estoppel, estoppel by conduct, evidentiary estoppel, promissory estoppel, quasi-estoppel, High Trees estoppel, equitable estoppel, proprietary estoppel, Ramsden v Dyson estoppel, Dillwyn v Llewelyn estoppel, estoppel by acquiescence and estoppel by encouragement.
