Since the Court of Appeal's pronouncement on accomplice liability in Daniel Vijay, doubts have arisen over the exact mens rea required of the secondary offender for a section 300(c) murder conviction. Several courts have suggested that he must have intended or known that the injuries inflicted by the primary offender were sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death.
This article disagrees with that approach, for it unjustifiably confers a more favourable test on the secondary offender. Instead, Professor Alan Tan argues that a “co-terminous” approach should be adopted that subjects all assailants to a consistent section 300(c) test.

The Singapore Law Review is collaborating with the Intellectual Property Students' Association (IPSA) to publish interviews with key players of Singapore’s intellectual property scene on Juris Illuminae. The interviews are conducted and transcribed by IPSA members before they are vetted by the Review’s editors.

At present, the SLR has published three interviews on Juris Illuminae. Most recently, IPSA members interviewed Dr. Stanley Lai, SC who is the partner and the head of the Intellectual Property Practice and Co-Head of the Cybersecurity and Data Protection Practice at Allen & Gledhill.

The Singapore IP Strategy 2030 report highlighted that Singapore is looking to build a robust IP ecosystem, which includes strengthening its position as an IP dispute resolution hub. Based on this backdrop, in this interview, Dr. Stanley Lai shared his interesting and insightful perspectives on the IP dispute resolution scene in Singapore.
