Can anyone explain to me the application of english law in
singapore?
This is found in my lecture notes, but i dont understand.
Former British colony: common law system
English statutes & common law received via 1826 Second Charter
of Justice, subject to necessary modifications for local
conditions
Section 5, Civil Law Act: English mercantile law applied in
Singapore
1993 Application of English Law Act - No English statutes except
those specified in the Act applies in Singapore - English common
law that was part of Singapore law as of 12 November 1993 continues
to apply
Thanks!
