| Falsely Imprisoning the Legally Detained Person: Can the Bounds of Lawful Detention Ever be Exceeded?
Fordham, Margaret • [1991] Sing JLS 348 (Dec)The issue of whether a person who has been lawfully detained can, nevertheless, bring an action for false imprisonment has recently been considered by both the Court of Appeal and the House of Lords in England. In two cases involving prisoners allegedly subjected to adverse conditions, the courts questioned whether such circumstances could give rise to an action for false imprisonment, or whether the remedy should lie, if at all, in other torts. This article examines the impact of these decisions and considers their implications in the Singapore context.

| Public Law: An Examination of Purpose (Part 1)
Sin, Boon Ann • [1991] Sing JLS 431 (Dec)In an era where the private sector increasingly assumes functions which hitherto have been performed by the state, questions are being asked whether public law in its present form should not be revised to safeguard the interests of the citizens. It is against this backdrop that the article seeks to examine some of the basic questions of public law. Part I will consider approaches used both in England and in Singapore in defining the scope of public law. Part II will seek to examine some implications which may result from a recognition of the present limits of public law when placed against the changing functions of the state, and to consider the purpose for which public law ought to achieve.
