Finally, Mdm Ma argued that in cases involving contractual changes or modifications, consideration should be waived. The CA disagreed, based on five main points. Vim first argued that “the word of a gentleman is his bond” and that Deluge should be held accountable for the change request. However, this argument was rejected by the SGHC. It noted that in concluding the contract with Deluge, Vim had initially agreed to carry out modification work only on written instruction from Deluge. 8.8.8 In the absence of a legal excuse, a breach of contract has two main effects. 8.10.10 False statements are generally pre-contractual statements made to induce a person to enter into a contract with the agent. A pre-contractual statement that led to a contract may also have been included as a contractual clause. If this is the case, the person who made the statement would also be violating the contract if the statement turned out to be false. In such a case, damages may be claimed for breach of contract, and § 1 of the False Declarations Act specifies that the representative may always terminate the contract due to a false declaration. For the criterion for distinguishing between terms and representations, see section 8.5.1.

8.5.7 If a clause is implied in order to fill a gap in the contract in order to achieve the presumed intention of the parties, the clause is implied and depends on the examination of the language of the contract and the circumstances surrounding it. A clause is implied only if it is so necessary that both parties must intend to include it in the contract. The fact that it would be reasonable to include the term is not sufficient for implication, as the courts will not rewrite the contract for the parties. 8.9.11 Unilateral errors may also occur with respect to the terms of a contract. If A enters into a contract due to a misunderstanding of an important particular clause (other than the identity of the other party, B) and error B is known, this error may result in the contract being void under ordinary law. The Singapore Court of Appeal recently clarified (in Chwee Kin Keong v Digilandmall.com Pte Ltd [2005] 1 SLR 502) that this common law doctrine is limited to cases where the non-false party, B, actually has knowledge of A`s error. If a case does not fall within the scope of common law doctrine (for example, because it has not been proven that B is actually aware of A`s error), the court may still exercise its equitable power to cancel the contract if B is guilty of unscrupulous conduct. This may be the case if B suspects that A is suffering from an error, but deliberately fails to distance A from his error. Given the proliferation of NOM clauses in various contracts, this is an important decision. It is common for parties to hold discussions on revised payment plans or change the conditions for the return of aircraft during redelivery. Previously, if it was agreed to modify the existing written conditions, this was considered effective. In the absence of written evidence, this may give rise to arguments as to whether an agreement was reached (as was the case in Rock v.

MWB) or under what exact conditions. The Supreme Court therefore places commercial security above the freedom of the parties to “cancel” a contract. Vim then argued that certain shop drawings provided by the prime contractor constituted the required written instructions. However, this argument was also rejected by the SGHC. He noted that the agreement clearly provides that written instructions must come from Fluter`s project manager and not from the prime contractor. As a result, the HCMS concluded that the contractual requirements for an accepted change request were not met. 1. the applicant`s actions must have been in accordance with what he considered to be legally obliged to do under the contract; 8.13.1After a breach of a contractual clause or if the breach results in the substantial deprivation of part of the entire benefit of the contract, the injured party may decide to terminate the contract. In this case, the injured party and the party violating the breach will be released from all outstanding obligations under the contract.

This is called “self-help” because release takes place without court approval or intervention. However, for this amendment to be effective, there must be the following: 8.3.3 Whether the consideration is sufficient is a question of law and the court generally does not consider whether the value of the consideration is proportional to the value of the consideration. The fulfillment or promise to fulfil an existing public obligation imposed on the promisor does not automatically constitute sufficient legal consideration to support the promisor`s promisor. The performance of an existing contractual obligation owed to the beneficiary may be sufficiently taken into account if that service provides a real and practical advantage to the beneficiary. If the promisor fulfils or promises to fulfil an existing contractual obligation owed to a third party, the promisor has provided sufficient consideration to support a given commitment in return […].
