Centre for Digital Law
Artificial intelligence is reshaping the global environment in which legal systems operate—not only by transforming how individuals, firms, and governments act, but also by reconfiguring the broader political economy that sustains them. Resilience in this context means ensuring that legal systems can anticipate, absorb, and adapt to technological disruption while continuing to deliver justice, maintain legitimacy, and safeguard rights. Without deliberate strategies for resilience, legal systems risk narrowing into brittle, tech-dominated structures: constrained in their options, vulnerable to capture, and unable to fulfil their core functions.
Engage with this panel that convenes experts across academia, government, and industry to explore how law can remain a stabilising force in the age of AI and to identify practical strategies for embedding resilience “by design” into legal institutions.

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia
The restructuring of financially distressed multinational firms is often costly and inefficient because insolvency proceedings must be coordinated across jurisdictions. Weak coordination between domestic and foreign courts increases legal uncertainty and hampers effective restructuring. To address this problem, the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) introduced the Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, which has been adopted by a growing number of countries, including the United States in 2005 and Singapore in 2017.
This study examines how reducing legal uncertainty in global insolvency affects cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and financing. We first use the U.S. adoption of the Model Law through Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy Code in 2005 as a benchmark setting. Using a comprehensive dataset of Chapter 15 filings from 2005–2020, we show that the law has been actively used by foreign firms, particularly those from countries with strong creditor rights and efficient bankru…

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia
VAT and GST systems are a reliable source of revenue for most countries in the world. Because large groups of entrepreneurs need to be able to apply the rules associated with these taxes relatively easily, there is a need to keep these indirect taxes simple. On the other hand, various forms of fraud are forcing legislators to take additional measures that are at odds with the need to keep indirect taxes simple.
In our lecture, we will focus on the ways in which EU legislators and courts are attempting to curb these forms of fraud, in addition to providing a brief overview of common fraud patterns. In addition, we will discuss an initiative taken in 2021 to establish a European Public Prosecutor's Office (EPPO) that prosecutes VAT fraud/Missing Trader Fraud cases in EU states. The idea is to compare the initiatives that are and are being developed in the EU with those in Singapore during a panel discussion. This will provide a good idea of which control methods (or combinations of control methods) are most ef…
