Tan Seng Kee v Attorney-General
[2022] 1 SLR 1347; [2022] SGCA 16
Key Principle
The Singapore Court of Appeal held that s 377A of the Penal Code was unenforceable in its entirety based on the doctrine of substantive legitimate expectations arising from the Attorney-General's public statements that it would not be enforced against private consensual sexual acts between adult men, rendering the challengers without standing to mount constitutional challenges.
