The Singapore Legal System is based on the English common law framework, which was established during British colonial rule. It consists of various laws, including statutes, regulations, and case law, and is overseen by an independent judiciary. The system emphasizes the rule of law, ensuring that laws are applied fairly and consistently. The legal structure includes several levels of courts, such as the Supreme Court and State Courts, which handle different types of cases. Additionally, alternative dispute resolution methods, like mediation and arbitration, are encouraged to resolve conflicts efficiently outside of traditional court settings.
