Personal Property Law

This book states, discusses and methodically analyses not only the common law but also the common law of Singapore. It strives to engage with theories and doctrines of property as well.

For students, the theoretical and doctrinal discussions should help expose the intellectual framework of personal property law and the deeper and broader currents that shape the diverse and incongruous conceptions of personal property. These discussions are helpful in gaining an understanding when being initiated into a subject.

Practitioners will no doubt focus on the details, avoiding the theories, for concrete outcomes. Nevertheless, when serious controversies arise, answers will not be found unless and until the rules which have a bearing are seen against the intellectual framework into which they fit. These discussions will help one to penetrate behind the form of the rules to their sense or substance, expose errors of perspective and reasoning, and distinguish the core from the peripherals.
