Law of Finance: Mainwork: A Comprehensive Treatise for Practitioners (Hardback)

This book is divided into two halves. Section One: Principles of the Law of Finance summarises the key principles from the law of contract, the law of property, and the law of tort as they build up all of the substantive legal concepts on which financial instruments are created, by reference to which investors take security and how breaches of duty are resolved. This section focuses primarily on substantive law, but the law of finance is unique precisely because it mixes those substantive legal concepts with principles of financial regulation. Section Two: Modern Financial Techniques in Legal Context then sub-divides financial practice between customer banking; lending; stakeholding; refinancing; proprietary finance and collective investment entities. This division covers the whole of financial practice (excluding pensions and insurance as discrete markets) by grouping like activities with like activities. Within each chapter is a discussion of the instruments or investment arrangements created by that mark
