Indeed, some support for this view can be found in English decisions that imposed liability for procuring the breach of statutory duty and for inducing the breach of an equitable duty. On the other hand, the suggestion that there is a tort of “procuring a breach of trust” has been firmly resisted because the rules on third-party and accessory liability are already well established in the law of trusts.

Indeed, it is submitted that a sweeping extension of the principle in Lumley v Gye has little to commend itself. Given that each civil wrong is unique in the rights or interests it protects, the creation or extension of accessory liability in each context should be determined by close reference to the nature of the protected interests, as well as the policy concerns particular to that context. 2016-05-01T07:00:00Z text https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/sol_research/1684 https://search.library.smu.edu.sg/discovery/fulldisplay?docid=alma99115712302601&context=L&vid=65SMU_INST:SMU_NUI&lang=en&search_scope=Everything&adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&isFrbr=true&tab=Everything&query=any,contains,law%20of%20torts%20in%20singapore&sortby=date_d&facet=frbrgroupid,include,9020915483184108675&offset=0 Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law eng Institutional Knowledge at Singapore Management University Law and Society Torts |
