Singapore Civil Practice is a subsequent to the publication 'Singapore Court Practice', which was relied on by the Courts as persuasive authority in over 500 judgments. It covers all amendments to rules of court as well as case law developments, practice directions, other legal sources, and practice information in a new format.
It is more than a comprehensive work on Civil Practice, it also explains the difficult areas of the law and provides the civil litigator with all the necessary arguments for his case. This book is organised in 12 parts containing almost 50 topic-based chapters (in contrast to traditional commentaries on Orders). The topic-based approach of this book will be particularly helpful in understanding the new Rules of Court 2021. Cross-references to Forms are also conveniently included in an appendix at the end of each Part.
