Product Description

This commentary on the Land Titles Act 1993 (2020 Rev Ed) offers the first comprehensive, clause-by-clause analysis of Singapore’s Torrens statute since John Baalman’s seminal 1961 work, The Singapore Torrens System: Being a Commentary on the Land Titles Ordinance 1956 of the State of Singapore. Drawing on more than six decades of legislative development and case law, this book provides a modern and rigorous treatment of indefeasibility, registration, caveats, priorities, fraud, and the expanding range of statutory powers affecting title. The discussion on each section of the Act integrates historical context, comparative insight, and close engagement with leading authorities, while tracing how successive amendments have shaped today’s land-title architecture. The commentary also preserves Baalman’s original insights through systematic cross-referencing, highlighting where his reasoning remains influential and where contemporary developments have overtaken earlier assumptions.
