Far East Square Pte Ltd v Yau Lee Construction (Singapore) Pte Ltd [2019] SGCA 36: Inroad into Dual-Track Regime for Construction Claims?

July 29, 2019

In Far East Square Pte Ltd v Yau Lee Construction (Singapore) Pte Ltd [2019] SGCA 36 (Far East v Yau Lee), the Singapore Court of Appeal recently dealt with important issues surrounding the scheme of the Building and Construction Industry Security of Payments Act (CAP 30B, 2006 Rev. Ed.) (the SOPA) and the interplay between the SOPA, the SIA Conditions of Contract and the role of the architect in issuing payment certificates in the SIA Form of Contract.

Liquidated Damages after Termination of Contract: Termination of LDs or just Termination of the Contract?

April 25, 2019

Construction law practitioners are familiar with the Singapore case of LW Infrastructure Pte Ltd v Lim Chin San Contractors Pte Ltd [2011] SGHC 163 (LW Infrastructure). The Singapore High Court in that case held that in the absence of express provision to the contrary, termination of the contract does not affect a claim for liquidated damages in respect of the period before termination. This case is also cited with approval in Law and Practice of Construction Contracts, 5th edition (Sweet & Maxwell 2018). For all intents and purposes, the Singapore law position appears settled even though there is no direct guidance from the Singapore Court of Appeal.
