Commercial Conflict of Laws by Yeo Tiong Min SC | 2023*

A sound understanding of conflict of laws is vital for lawyers serving Singapore’s highly globalised and interconnected economy. This book explores the subject’s core principles, approaches and debates, with particular emphasis on commercial transactions.

It examines the jurisdiction of Singapore courts, including the Singapore International Commercial Court, in cross-border disputes; the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments; and the methods used to determine the applicable law for contractual and non-contractual obligations and property transactions made during a person’s lifetime (inter vivos).

Common law principles are considered alongside Singapore’s legislative framework, including the Choice of Court Agreements Act 2016, which implements the Hague Convention on Choice of Court Agreements, the updated Reciprocal Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act 1959, and the Rules of Court 2021.
