Legislation & Case Law Singapore UK Australia
Introduction The 2 main sources of legislation in Singapore today are : I. Statutes of the Republic of Singapore (primary legislation) Print: K II. Subsidiary Legislation of the Republic of Singapore (secondary legislation) Print: K
The Legislature, the law-making body in Singapore, is made up of o the President o the Parliament of Singapore. A Bill becomes law when it is o passed by Parliament and o assented to by the President. But an Act only comes into force on o a date determined by the Minister and o notified by a commencement Notification in the Gazette. The Legislative Process
The following is an account of the legislative process in a nutshell. This relates only to Government Bills. The passage of the Act or Statute is traced from its origins as a Bill to the time it is gazetted. The bodies involved and the documents published at each stage of the process are listed.

Today, Acts are laws passed by Parliament and assented to by the President. In earlier times, bodies like the Legislative Council of the Straits Settlements had power to legislate for Singapore. Different terminology was used then to refer to legislation, e.g. Ordinances. Such legislation may still be in force today if they have not been repealed. Therefore, legislation in force today may emanate from different periods of legislative history (see table on next slide). History of the Acts

Both alphabetical and subject indexes are useful in locating statutes. Print indexes are more useful for researching older statutes. Online indexes are preferred for searching for current statutes as they are more up-to-date and are often linked to the full texts of statutes.

Since 1999, Scotland and Northern Ireland have had legislative bodies capable of producing primary legislation for those regions.

Australia You can search for a case by name using an alphabetical list of cases or by topic using a subject index. There are 2 main categories of indexes: 1. Indexes to Law Reports These are indexes published by the individual law report series. 2. Indexes with Abstracts of Cases The main indexes in this category are the Digests. These contain summaries of cases arranged by subject.
