Abstract:
This case comment analyses the recent decision of the General Division of the High Court in Prashant Mudgal v SAP Asia Pte Ltd [2026] 3 SLR 914, where the court expressly recognised an implied term of mutual trust and confidence in Singapore. This position had previously been left uncertain, particularly in recent years. Here, the author provides some critical commentary in relation to this case law development while considering its implications on employment contracts in Singapore.
