FURTHER UPDATES ON MEASURES RELATING TO COVID19

1. With the extension of the circuit breaker period, Syariah Court is closed until 1 June 2020.

2. The Relevant Period mentioned in Registrar’s Circular No. 13 of 2020 will be extended by 4 weeks until (and inclusive of) 1 June 2020. Registrar’s Circular No. 13 of 2020 shall continue to apply during the entire extension of the Relevant Period.

Interpretation of Court Orders Referring to School Holidays

3. As a result of the extension of the circuit breaker period, the Ministry of Education (“MOE”) has announced that the June school holidays will be brought forward and fall from 5 May 2020 to 1 June 2020 (both dates inclusive) (“the Revised Dates”) and that there will be a one-week mid-term break from 20 July 2020 to 26 July 2020 (both dates inclusive). These adjustments will apply to all MOE kindergartens, primary, secondary, pre-university students, including those from special education schools.

4. In light of this development, any reference to the June or mid-year school holidays in any Court Order shall, unless the context necessarily requires otherwise, be interpreted to cover the Revised Dates instead of the dates on which the June or mid-year school holidays would have fallen.

5. In addition, the mid-term break will be classified as school holidays for the purposes of school holiday access.
