| Division of Matrimonial Assets : Recent Cases and Thoughts for Reform
Leong, Wai Kum • [1993] Sing JLS 351 (Dec)Since 1981, Singapore courts have the power, upon granting a decree which terminates a marriage, to order the division between the spouses of matrimonial assets which they had acquired during the course of the marriage. This article discusses this power as part of the law on the effect of marriage upon the ownership of assets. It examines the scope of the power as it has been developed by the courts and suggests improvements should an amendment be contemplated.

| Financial Relief in Singapore after a Foreign Divorce
Ong, Siu Ling Debbie • [1993] Sing JLS 431 (Dec)The Singapore High Court can grant financial relief only when it is granting a decree of divorce, separation or nullity of marriage. It has no jurisdiction to grant such relief when a marriage has already been dissolved by a foreign court. This article examines the difficulties faced by ex-spouses who wish to seek financial relief in Singapore after a foreign divorce.

| Tracing and Three-Party Restitution
Yeo, Tiong Min • [1993] Sing JLS 452 (Dec)The writer argues that tracing claims, whether at law or equity, are restitutionary in nature, and a restitutionary framework can be used to rationalize this area of the law. In consequence, the threshold for tracing in equity and some of the received learning on common law tracing require re-examination, and the divergent outcomes at law and equity after a successful tracing exercise should be rationalized. In addition, the restitutionary liability of the agent who receives a bribe and the recipient who claims from such an agent is explicable on tracing principles.

| Debt Subordination
Tan, Cheng Han • [1993] Sing JLS 491 (Dec)This article examines a method of debt financing which is relatively new in Singapore although it has been used in the United States since the 1930s and in England from the 1960s. Part of the reason for this may be attributed to the uncertainty over whether arrangements for subordinated debts will survive the insolvency of the debtor. This article will therefore focus primarily on the enforceability of the debt subordination agreements in the context of certain rules in the law of insolvency

| Making Sense of Documentary Evidence (Part I)
Tan, Yock Lin • [1993] Sing JLS 504 (Dec)In Part I of this two-part article, the scope of the best evidence rule, both as it is understood at common law and as it is embodied in the Evidence Act, is clarified. Detailed consideration is particularly given to one of the expressions of the best evidence rule, namely, section 93. Part II will continue with a discussion of the inherent limitations in section 93 as opposed to its exceptions which are set out in section 94. The contention and demonstration that the Evidence Act is deficient in the treatment of mechanical, electrical and electronic recordings of relevant facts completes Part II.
