Sukhninder Panesar
Writing extra-judicially, Sir Robert Walker once commented that ‘the decision in Re Hastings-Bass must be seen in its judicial context. It cannot be regarded as giving a “carte blanche” excuse to every body of trustees who have made a mistake. The law on the issue now stands in a state of some uncertainty’ (Walker, The limits of the principle in Re Hastings-Bass, P.C.B 226, 2002). There is no doub...... hiện toàn bộ
Are Verdicts Credible? Is it Time to Consider the Truth About Lies?Liverpool Law Review - Tập 33 - Trang 159-170 - 2012
Michael Green
One of the greatest challenges to any Court is to determine the truth in the face of often conflicting evidence.

The standard of proof required in criminal cases is “beyond r...... hiện toàn bộ

Asian Sexuality or Singapore Exceptionalism?Liverpool Law Review - Tập 33 - Trang 11-26 - 2012
Laurence Wai-Teng Leong
Is there such a thing as “Asian sexuality”? Do Asians approach sex in particular ways that are uniquely cultural?
