Proposed legislation to criminalise holding a mobile phone while driving regardless of usage.

The Road Traffic (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill seeks to lower the threshold for mobile phone violations. Instead of requiring proof that a driver was using a device, the mere act of holding a phone while driving will be illegal.

Why it mattersLawyers should advise clients that the evidentiary burden for traffic offenses will shift, making it significantly easier for authorities to secure convictions using visual evidence.

High Court clarifies the test for restrictions of competition "by object" under the Competition Act.

The High Court has issued a landmark decision detailing the factors used to determine if competitor conduct constitutes a restriction of competition "by object". In doing so, the Court reversed a prior decision made by the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS/CAB).

Why it mattersLawyers must apply this clarified test when assessing whether a client's competitive conduct falls into the category of a restriction by object under the Competition Act.
