    Cutting the Apron Strings : The Localization of Singapore’s Land and Trust Law

    Citation: [1995] Sing JLS 75
    This article discusses the changes made to Singapore's land and trust law by the Application of English Law Act 1993. The focus is on the effects of the "repeal" of the Second Charter of Justice, which imported English common law and pre-1826 English statutes into Singapore. The first part of the article discusses the provisions of the new Act, which replace the pre-1826 English statutory provisions. The second part discusses cases where English statutory provisions have not been replaced by new local legislation.
