Mission

Inaugurated on 17 January 1998, the Centre for Commercial Law Studies is
intended to build on the Faculty’s extensive experience in commercial law
teaching and research and involves a vast majority of the Faculty members
whose interests cover a wide spectrum of commercial law subjects.
Hitherto, these diverse interests had evolved in piecemeal fashion and it
was therefore conceived that a foremost aim of the Centre for Commercial
Law Studies should be to provide a focal point for comparative and
regional commercial law research and dialogue which would be of practical
value to practitioners, legislators and businessmen.
A second aim of the Centre is to contribute to the reform of commercial
law in Singapore and to this end, the Centre is pleased to have been
commissioned by the Ministry of Finance as well as the Attorney-General’s
Chambers to undertake research into a few areas of law.
A third aim of the Centre is to disseminate topical and important
information on and stimulate interest in comparative commercial law.
