29. Saving for other relevant legislation
Feedback & supportNothing in this Act removes or restricts the effect of, or prevents reliance upon, any contractual provision which —
is authorised or required by the express terms or necessary implication of an enactment; or
being made with a view to compliance with an international agreement to which Singapore is a party, does not operate more restrictively than is contemplated by the agreement.
A contract term is to be taken for the purposes of Part 1 as satisfying the requirement of reasonableness if it is incorporated or approved by, or incorporated pursuant to a decision or ruling of, a competent authority acting in the exercise of any statutory jurisdiction or function and is not a term in a contract to which the competent authority is itself a party.
In this section —
“competent authority” means any court, arbitrator or arbiter, Government department or public authority;
“enactment” means any legislation (including subsidiary legislation) of Singapore and any instrument having effect by virtue of such legislation;
“statutory” means conferred by an enactment.
