Initial comments
[edit]The article seems very well written and organised to me. There are just a couple of minor points that I noticed as I went through it:
- I think this sentence needs a comma after "common law": (#1, A procedural or substantive concept?)
"Traditionally, at common law natural justice is taken to be a procedural concept that embodies the twin pillars of audi alteram partem (hear the other party) and nemo iudex in causa sua (no one should be a judge in his or her own cause)."
- Fixed. — SMUconlaw (talk) 10:53, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- I think this sentence needs the addition of "the" before Constitution: (#2, Customary international law)
"The Court of Appeal clarified in Yong Vui Kong v. Public Prosecutor (2010),[4] that customary international law cannot be read into Constitution for two reasons.
- Fixed. — SMUconlaw (talk) 10:53, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- Is it possible to find a reference that backs up the statement: (#1 Abortion)
"Laws permitting abortion would thus be unconstitutional. This issue has yet to come before the Singapore courts." I am not too concerned about this last point as proving a negative is difficult. Perhaps the sentence could be rephrased. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:04, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
