Abstract: This comment reviews the amount of damages for bereavement under the Civil Law Act 1909 in Singapore. It is argued that the current award is inappropriately low and needs to be increased. The statutory amount of bereavement damages should be reviewed periodically, taking inflation and changing economic conditions into consideration.
