Commercial Injunctions in Singapore is the definitive guide for practitioners, in-house counsel, and academics navigating one of the fastest-developing areas of modern litigation.

This book delivers a comprehensive and practical account of the principles governing the grant, scope, and defence of a wide range of commercial injunctions. This is achieved by drawing on the majority of reported Singapore Supreme Court decisions, including:

• Alphard Maritime Ltd v Samson Maritime Ltd
• Allenger, Shiona v Pelletier Olga
• Bouvier, Yves Charles Edgar v Accent Delight International Ltd
• China Medical Technologies, Inc v Wu Xiaodong
• CLM v CLN
• John Reginald Stott Kirkham v Trane US Inc

Blending rigorous legal analysis with insights from real-world litigation experience, the authors unpack procedural nuances unique to Singapore while offering strategic guidance on when and how injunctions may best be deployed – or resisted. With Singapore’s role as a global dispute resolution hub continuing to expand, the text also serves as an indispensable reference for international practitioners dealing with cross-border litigation and arbitration connected to Singapore.

 Your Practical Handbook to Corporate Law & Governance in Singapore

The first and only source of practical procedures to corporate law and corporate governance, covering up to and including the most recent changes since 2018.

A high standard of corporate governance is essential to continue building Singapore’s reputation as a regional and global hub for businesses. Over the last two decades, Singapore companies have greatly progressed in their corporate governance practices. However, businesses now operate in an increasingly complex environment, with disruptive changes challenging traditional business models. It is of paramount importance for Singapore companies to steadily uplift and improve their own corporate governance practices, not only in letter but also in spirit, in order to stay ahead in this business environment. In the local regulatory landscape, the Singapore Code of Corporate Governance has undergone a major revision in August 2018 and some corporate governance disclosures and practices are now mandatory. With the enactment of new legislation including the Insolvency, Restructuring and Dissolution Act 2018 and Variable Capital Companies Act 2018 and the passing of amendment acts, the Companies Act of 1967 has also been amended many times. Finally, Singapore courts have issued landmark judgements in the area of company law, such as Independent State of Papua New Guinea v PNG Sustainable Development Program Ltd [2020] 2 SLR 200 and Miao Weiguo v Tendcare Medical Group Holdings Pte Ltd [2021] SCGA 116.
