Lexology In-Depth: Banking Litigation (Edition 9), Singapore chapter by Drew & Napier
16 Dec 2025
Head, Banking & Financial Disputes Director Benedict Teo and Director Tham Feei Sy, co-authored the 9th edition of the Lexology In-Depth: Banking Litigation, Singapore chapter.
The Singapore chapter looks at recent cases before the Singapore courts involving misdelivery claims in trade financing, crystallisation of floating charges, claims for financial investment loss and the role of exclusion / non-reliance clauses, among others.
A key focus of this year’s edition is the introduction of significant legislative and enforcement measures by Singapore’s regulators to address scams and money laundering. New laws and offences have widened the banks’ potential exposure, leading to closer scrutiny of compliance systems and higher litigation and regulatory risk.
The chapter also covers wider issues and future trends in banking litigation, including heightened regulatory intervention and growth of scam-related disputes, against the backdrop of rising financial crimes and tightening regulations.
