- Authors
TAN MING REN
- Abstract
A spouse's duty of full and frank disclosure takes on a heightened importance in the division of matrimonial assets due to procedural constraints inherent in ancillary proceedings. If a spouse fails to make full and frank disclosure of his or her assets, an adverse inference may be drawn against him or her. This note reviews the recent Singapore Court of Appeal decision in UZN v UZM on the circumstances under which an adverse inference may be drawn against a non-disclosing spouse, and the different approaches that could be taken to give effect to the adverse inference.
