THE LAW OF TORTS IN SINGAPORE (2ND EDITION)

Tort law has continued to develop apace in the intervening period since
the first edition of the book was published in 2011: new torts have
emerged, existing torts re-formulated, and important clarifications
made on the scope of specific torts and doctrines.

These developments are captured in this second edition, salient
examples of which include See Toh Siew Kee v Ho Ah Lam Ferrocement
(Pte) Ltd (occupiers’ liability); Anwar Patrick Adrian v Ng Chong & Hue
LLC and AEL v Cheo Yeoh & Associates LLC (solicitor’s duty of care);
Author(s):
Gary Chan Kok Yew EFT Holding, Inc v Marinteknik Shipbuilders (S) Pte Ltd (unlawful means
with chapter conspiracy); and Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (Publ), Singapore
contributions by Branch v Asia Pacific Breweries (Singapore) Pte Ltd (vicarious liability).

CORPORATE LAW

This book takes a conventional approach to the subject of corporate
law in that the usual topics found in most company law textbooks are
dealt with in some detail. So the external and internal relationships
with respect to the corporate structure, as well as directors’ duties and
corporate governance, are centrally located within the book. Apart from
the usual topics, the initial chapters provide some historical overview
of the development of company law. There is also a sampling of some
of the theories behind the corporate form and the different kinds
of corporate-like alternative business structures that exist out there.
Author(s): Later chapters focus on shareholder rights and remedies and conclude
Hans Tjio, Pearlie Koh
and Lee Pey Woan with, what can broadly be termed, the area of corporate finance.
Year: 2015 This textbook incorporates all the changes introduced by the Companies
lxxxiv + 774pp
(softcover) (Amendment) Act 2014, which made the largest series of amendments
ISBN: to the Companies Act since it was enacted in 1967.
