RECENT DEVELOPMENTS: LEASES, INTERESTS OF SPECIFIC LEGATEES, INDEFEASIBILITY AND COLLECTIVE SALES

This update on Singapore law addresses four developments. First, a case apparently enforcing a lease of uncertain duration. Second, a case clarifying the interests of specific legatees during the administration of a deceased’s estate and the effect of an assent by an executor. Third, a case explaining how a claim in proprietary estoppel is compatible with the Singapore Torrens system. Finally, a case considering the concept of good faith in the context of a collective sale of a strata development.
