SYNOPSIS
In 2016, the government announced its intention to undertake substantive reforms to Singapore criminal laws to ensure they remain relevant and up-to-date. This seminar will consider recent and proposed reforms to substantive and procedural criminal laws, including the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC), the penal code (PC) and the prevention of corruption act (PCA), in light of recent jurisprudence before Singapore Courts and international developments. It will highlight regulatory and litigation risks that lawyers should be aware of when advising and representing their clients, and how the landscape of criminal law practice has evolved in response to domestic and international or cross-border developments. It draws on the experience of the panelists as scholars and practitioners who have prosecuted and represented defendants in court, commented on policy and draft legislation, and/or spoken on these issues in Parliament.
