The Principles of Singapore Business Law, first published in 2009, was followed by a
second edition in 2013. This third edition provides a timely update of the legal changes
that have taken place since then, stating the law as on 4th May 2019. In keeping with the
aims of this publication since the first edition, the volume sets out the law of relevance
to business, with the lay reader in mind, while providing glimpses into some complex
and unsettled areas of law that are of practical interest. In this vein, layman’s language is
adopted and pedagogical features are used to summarise, illustrate and provide mindmaps
of basic concepts. Unsettled areas are separately highlighted in reflection boxes to
provoke further thinking. This volume features some chapters that have been completely
or extensively rewritten and others streamlined in both language and content to ensure
greater accessibility to the lay reader.
