Synopsis
Singapore courts now routinely refer to developments in other jurisdictions in their judgments. The need to be aware of developments in other common law jurisdictions has never been more important, particularly in areas of the private law. The same is especially true for contract law in Singapore.
This seminar will provide a comparative update of contract law in Singapore. It will be divided into two parts. Part 1 provides an overview of the development of various important aspects of contract law in Singapore, from issues of formation, to interpretation, to breach and finally remedies. Part 2 then compares those developments with developments in other leading common law jurisdictions. It will discuss how the Singapore courts have drawn from such developments elsewhere and will discuss how the Singapore courts may develop the law of contract here in the future.
