Proposed updates to the collective sale regime via the Land Titles (Strata) (Amendment) Bill 2026.

The Bill introduces stratified consent thresholds for older properties and extends majority-consent sales to certain non-strata-titled private residential developments. These measures aim to facilitate the renewal of ageing developments and improve land use optimization.

Why it mattersLawyers advising developers and property owners must navigate updated consent requirements for triggering collective sales.

Court of Appeal establishes a distinct Singaporean framework for negligence claims in auditor liability cases.

In Deloitte & Touche LLP v Hin Leong Trading (Pte) Ltd, a five-member Court of Appeal coram struck out a US$2.6 billion claim for trading losses brought by liquidators against a former auditor. The judgment marks a move toward an autochthonous approach to the law of negligence in Singapore.

Why it mattersPractitioners must apply this new domestic framework rather than relying solely on foreign precedents when assessing negligence and auditor liability for financial losses.

High Court implements new procedure for defendants unfit to plead.

The High Court has introduced a new regime for defendants who lack the mental competency to stand trial. Under this process, a judge confirms the defendant's incapacity and recommends a 'notional imprisonment period' as a sentencing cap, which allows the Law Minister to order confinement.

Why it mattersPractitioners must be aware of this new procedural framework when representing clients who are mentally unfit to plead, particularly regarding the determination of notional sentencing caps.
