Evans on Defamation in Singapore and Malaysia - 3rd Edition

It has been close to 15 years since the second edition of this book was published in 1993. This third edition is therefore timely as it updates the jurisprudence in Singapore and Malaysia with all reported cases from the second edition up to December 2006, together with some essential updates since then. The Damages Digest has also been brought up to date. Readers are also now fortunate to have the expertise and viewpoint of 2 authors who are legal practitioners from both sides of the Causeway, and who have extensive experience in this field of the law.

This book provides practitioners and anyone else interested in the law of defamation a base from which local jurisprudence can be identified and utilised, as well as a thorough discussion of all major aspects of this area of the law, which is often regarded as complex and highly developed with many arcane and unusual features.
