dc.description.abstractWhilst the mother of all common law must be English law, the common law position of professional negligence in Singapore has evolved into a single test for professional negligence regardless of the nature of the loss suffered. The Singapore Court of Appeal in Spandeck Engineering (S) Pte Ltd v Defence Science & Technology Agency [2007] SGCA 37; [2007] 4 SLR 100, has departed from the English law position of having a separate treatment in establishing professional negligence in respect of pure economic loss. This paper examines the rationale for adopting the single test and concludes that it would bring about greater legal certainty without opening the flood gate for unlimited claims. © RICS.
