Singapore Trusts Law | 2021

Singapore Trusts Law | 2021

From its English origins, Singaporean trust law has evolved significantly. Singapore Trusts Law today has its own rich jurisprudence that draws on the greatest legal thought throughout the Commonwealth while maintaining its own character thanks to the successful establishment of an indigenous legal system in Singapore. Though the Singapore courts are prepared to deviate from them where they are inappropriate for the local environment or when there are conflicts on principle, developments in English law continue to be persuasive. The goal of this book is to explain Singaporean trust law as it is at the moment. Where applicable, particular attention has been made to cite regional cases, laws, and scholarly writing. This book aims to be an accessible resource for individuals starting out in the field while also providing more in-depth analysis at certain points. It is intended that it will be helpful for both practitioners and students.
