    Book Review: Corporate Crime in China: History and Contemporary Debates by Zhou Zhenjie

    Citation: [2015] Sing JLS 284
    Corporate crime has recently been raising public concern in China, with cases involving_x000D_ bribery and corruption (eg the 2014 GlaxoSmithKline bribery case), unsafe food (eg the 2008 Sanlu milk powder contamination scandal) and industrial accidents (eg the 2014 Kunshan metal product factory blast case). While there is much scholarly discussion on corporate crime in general, there is a paucity of English-written literature examining legislation and judicial practice concerning corporate crime in China.

    Book Review: Autonomous Vehicles and the Law: Technology, Algorithms and Ethics by Hannah Yee Fen Lim, ed

    Citation: [2019] Sing JLS 286
    Of all the technologies that are wrought with the advent of artificial intelligence ("AI"), nothing captures both its potential and its dangers more than its use in autonomous vehicles ("Avs"). Avs have been touted as having the potential to radically transform a nation's transport system by addressing manpower challenges, easing traffic congestion and reducing traffic fatalities. The various trials of Avs in the form of cars and shuttles on public roads, parks and research institute grounds and the retail availability of self-driving Tesla vehicles have further captured the public imagination. Much has been made in the media about accounts where Teslas have saved their inattentive drivers from near fatal accidents and driven their incapacitated drivers to hospitals. Less, however, has been said about the accidents involving Avs that have caused driver and pedestrian fatalities.

    Book Review: Law of Trade Marks and Passing Off in Singapore (3rd ed.) by Tan Tee Jim

    Citation: [2015] Sing JLS 287
    The long awaited third edition to Tan Tee Jim SC's comprehensive text on trade mark_x000D_ law in Singapore has finally arrived. It has been nearly a decade since the publication_x000D_ of the previous edition of this leading text. Drawing on applicable case law and legislation, the author provides a succinct and full discussion on the law of trade mark in Singapore. The significant developments in Singapore and elsewhere make this work timely and invaluable to all who are engaged in the area of trade mark law and practice. As noted by the author in the preface, some of the recent Singapore court decisions have necessitated an almost complete re-writing of a number of chapters in the work. By careful consideration and critical examination, the author elucidates the changes brought about by legislation and case law. Written by an eminent author and Senior Counsel with a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field, his 'ring-side' viewpoints offer an invaluable dimension to the commentaries on the leading decisions in this area.
