Rajah & Tann Singapore has contributed to the Singapore Chapter of the Legal500 comparative guide to class actions, sharing an overview of class action laws and regulations applicable in Singapore. The comparative guide provides information about the current issues affecting collective redress actions in each jurisdiction and addresses the relevant topics.
Authored by our dispute practitioners, Jerald Foo (Partner, Commercial Litigation) and Foo Xian Fong (Partner, Commercial Litigation), the guide is set out in a Q&A format addressing the key issues in collective redress actions. The guide covers, among other things, the collective redress mechanisms, how collective redress actions may be brought, jurisdictions of courts, causes of actions that can be relied on as basis for collective redress actions, limitations on types of claims and measure of damages.
