Description

Organised by the Centre for Banking & Finance Law and the EW Barker Centre for Law & Business, National University of Singapore in collaboration with the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law, University of Cambridge.

The edited volume of essays ‘Secured Transactions Law in Asia: Principles, Perspectives and Reform’ (Hart Publishing, 2021) provided an in-depth exploration of secured transactions law in thirteen civil law and common law jurisdictions in Asia. A varied picture emerged. While the law in some jurisdictions had been already been reformed to conform largely with the principles reflected in modern personal property security statutes and international codifications such as the UNCITRAL Model Law on Secured Transactions, there were jurisdictions that were in the process of undergoing secured transactions law reform, as well as those in which no particular attention was being paid to reforming the law. In this webinar, the editors of the volume will bring together a number of its contributors to give an update of significant developments in secured transactions law that have taken place in particular jurisdictions since the publication of the volume.

Convenors: Professor Louise Gullifer (University of Cambridge) and Associate Professor Dora Neo (National University of Singapore)
