SAL Law Reform Committee Report on Civil Remedies

Rebecca Chew and Chew Xiang, Partners at Rajah & Tann Singapore, with the assistance of Priscilla Soh, Senior Associate at Rajah & Tann Singapore, contributed to the Singapore Academy of Law’s (SAL) Law Reform Committee Report on Civil Remedies (“Report”) which was published in December 2020.

Rebecca and Chew Xiang are members of the Civil Remedies Subcommittee. The Subcommittee has considered whether the civil enforcement remedies available under Singapore law adequately ensure that judgment creditors are able to recover monies adjudicated by the courts as due and owing to them, taking into account also the interests and rights of judgment debtors and affected third parties.

The Report recommends legislative reforms to address certain gaps or limitations hampering the recovery of a judgment creditor’s due debts which have been identified by the Subcommittee. Rebecca and Chew Xiang were two of the several litigators on the Subcommittee that drew on their experience when representing creditors/debtors/third parties in recovering judgment debts for the recommendations stated in the Report. It is hoped that some of the reforms proposed may be considered and implemented.
