First practitioner title in Singapore to focus on the interpretation of contractual terms.

 
Written by the leading expert on this subject, find a structured and comprehensive discussion of all aspects of contractual
interpretation in Singapore within this title. Key decisions by the courts are analysed together with references to relevant
judgments from other Commonwealth jurisdictions. Litigators handling contentious contractual matters would be aided by
discussions on the applicability of the Evidence Act. This is also an indispensable tool to guide contract drafting practitioners
on which terms to use and which to omit.
