Affidavits play a major role in dispensing justice and many proceedings, particularly those of an interlocutory nature, are disposed of on affidavit evidence alone. In cases where evidence can be conveniently and completely presented in affidavit form, its use will promote the efficient and more orderly disposal of cases. This important part of litigation practice is given a clear and comprehensive exposition by the book Affidavit Evidence.
This book presents a core subject of civil practice from the local perspective. The detailed discussion is amply supported by copious citations of case law, local as well as foreign, and the applicable statutory provisions. The practical insights provided in the book are indeed valuable and will usefully serve both experienced and newer practitioners. The content of the book has been systematically organised and this greatly enhances its utility. Beginning from the fundamentals of the preparation of affidavits, the book then explores in detail the formal requirements for valid affidavits. The practical aspects of the filing and service of affidavits are discussed before an analysis is undertaken of defective affidavits as well as the available curative provisions and remedial measures. The book proceeds to a hands-on discussion of the assessment of affidavit evidence, including cross-examination on affidavits, affidavits in particular proceedings, and finishes off with a look at the effects of the making of false affidavits.
This new edition of Affidavit Evidence contains a wealth of knowledge painstakingly put together by an experienced practitioner of law. It is fully updated to take account of new developments in the law, including the Rules of Court 2012, the Companies Act 2016 and the Insolvency Act 1967.
In today’s fast-changing global economy, international trade and shipping law have become increasingly complex – shaped by cross-border regulations, sanctions regimes, and evolving commercial practices. The Law and Practice of International Trade and Shipping offers a timely and comprehensive guide to this dynamic field, blending doctrinal clarity with practical insight. This book provides an in-depth exploration of how international trade and shipping law intersect in practice. Few areas of commerce demand such a close integration of law and industry knowledge – where legal principles guide everyday operations, and industry customs in turn shape legal outcomes.
Authored by Philip Teoh, an accomplished practitioner with over three decades of experience in Singapore and Malaysia, the work draws on his extensive courtroom experience, including landmark Admiralty cases such as The Istana VI, which helped shape Malaysia’s maritime jurisprudence.
Covering the full spectrum of international commerce, the book examines the WTO trading system, trade finance, international sales, and the carriage of goods by sea, encompassing vessel chartering, bills of lading, and related shipping documents. It also provides detailed discussions on container shipping, cargo operations, marine insurance, and maritime arbitration, among other core topics. Each chapter is supported by analysis of statutes, decided cases, and industry practice – making it an indispensable reference for practitioners, arbitrators, judges, and industry professionals alike.
Praised for its breadth, depth, and practical relevance, this work bridges legal principle with commercial reality, filling a notable gap in the literature and offering reliable guidance through the complexities of modern international trade and shipping law.

The book is divided into 10 chapters, covering key areas including the nature of digital property, blockchain governance, fiduciary obligations in distributed networks, remedies for digital breaches of trust, and the challenges of estate planning and tax compliance in the management of digital assets and cryptocurrencies. Case studies such as the collapse of FTX underscore the urgent need for sound corporate governance in the digital era.
Drawing on comparative perspectives from Malaysia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Singapore and Europe, this book surveys local developments within global debates on regulatory reform, compliance and ethical digital practice. It serves as a timely resource for lawyers, in-house counsel, corporate directors, regulators and policymakers seeking to navigate the complex relationship between technology and trust.
Beyond its academic accuracy, the book equips professionals with practical guidance on establishing governance frameworks, drafting digital wills and trusts, and establishing new forms of property such as cryptocurrencies and digital assets. It bridges the gap between law and technology, equipping readers with the understanding needed to ensure integrity, accountability, and resilience in the rapidly evolving digital economy. It is an essential reference for those seeking to align innovation with sound legal and ethical governance.
