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:
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.

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.

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)"].

Trusted by professionals for over 100 years, this acclaimed resource sets the standard in non-marine commercial insurance law. With expert commentary on the latest legal developments and a reputation for clarity and authority, it's an indispensable tool for staying ahead in a complex and evolving field.
It explains foundational aspects of UK insurance law-such as the principles of misrepresentation and utmost good faith-and provides an in-depth look at the concept of loss, including key issues like causation and notification requirements. The book also explores specific insurance sectors, with chapters covering third-party liability, the rights of third parties against insurers, coordination between multiple insurers, and the legal treatment of double insurance.
Since the last edition there have been the usual steady stream of reported cases and regulatory developments. Notable examples are cases arising as a consequence of the COVID-19 lockdown dealing with, among other things, important questions of construction and causation, decisions on insurable interest, the application of s.11 of the Insurance Act 2015, illegality, good faith and exclusion of the 2015 Act's provisions, the Third Parties (Rights against Insurers) Act 2010 and aggregation clauses in liability policies.
