| | Exemplary or Punitive Damages
Soh, Kee Bun • [1998] Sing JLS 63 (Jul)This article examines the availability of exemplary or punitive damages in Singapore. The position at common law is examined, together with relevant statutory provisions. The law in England on punitive damages is not logical and has not been followed in major common law jurisdictions. It seems to have been followed here without detailed argument. It is argued that it should not be followed in Singapore, and that the law should not only operate to provide compensation after damage has been suffered. Punitive damages can play a useful role in protecting some rights and interests by deterring some types of conduct.

| | Nervous Shock, Rescuers and Employees - Primary or Secondary Victims?
Lan, Luh Luh & Leong, Huey SY Susanna • [1998] Sing JLS 121 (Jul)The Court of Appeal's decision in Frost is important as it is the first decision of the lower courts concerning claims by rescuers and employees for psychiatric injuries after the two House of Lords' judgments of Alcock and Page. It is evident that the judges in Frost were presented with an uphill task of interpreting and applying the principles laid down by the Law Lords in Alcock and Page, in particular the definition of primary and secondary victims. This article examines the difficulties faced by the courts in categorising rescuers and employees as primary or secondary victims for the purposes of imposing liability for nervous shock.
