Principles of International Financial Law

This book explains the legal principles and rules, concepts and developments that underpin the practice of financial law in common law countries, and by extension across the world.One of the aims of the book is to explain clearly the basis of the concepts applied by the common law to financial transactions. As part of this aim the second edition analyses in more detail the interface between common-law and civil law approaches in areas such as the distinction between property and personal rights. Additionally, the chapter on Contractual Interpretation has been broadened in scope so that it deals with common law judicial methodology in a wider sense, and treats the question of interpretation as part of that wider approach. Since the last edition was written there have been a number of major changes, not least relating to the ongoing challenges following the financial crisis. In Chapter 2 the material on the Euro has been expanded to explain the Eurozone crisis, and its consequences. Additionally, there is a new section on virtual currencies. This is an essential work for both experienced lawyers and those who are relatively new to international financial law. It provides the more experienced lawyer with an aide memoire on the existing law and a reference source for new ideas when tackling innovative structures or products. For those new to practice or postgraduate students this book delivers a firm foundation upon which to build knowledge of the law and practice of financial law.

One of the aims of the book is to explain clearly the basis of the concepts applied by the common law to financial transactions. As part of this aim the third edition analyses in detail the interface between common-law and civil law approaches in areas such as the distinction between property and personal rights. The section on the ability of States to control the use of their money has also been substantially rewritten to address increasing demands in the US that sanctioned persons and states should be denied access to the US monetary system, recording both the increased incidence of activity by the US authorities, and also explaining in more detail the rationale of these actions. Since the last edition was written there have been a number of developments in the technology used in the financial markets that question the legal principles on which they operate. In particular, the impact of Distributed Ledger Technology (e.g. Blockchain) on the transfer of intangible assets and the effect on the rights of parties involved is considered from both a legal and practical position. Additionally, the legal implications of the use of cryptocurrencies, including their use as Initial Coin Offerings, are also considered. This is an essential work for both experienced lawyers and those who are relatively new to international financial law. It provides the more experienced lawyer with an aide memoire on the existing law and a reference source for new ideas when tackling innovative structures or products.

Foreign & International Law

One of the key questions for lawyers dealing with financial transactions is "if the operation of this transaction goes wrong and the matter comes before court, what will the judge do?" To be able to answer this, the financial lawyer has to understand not only the applicable rules but also the concepts and principles underlying them. Rather than applying the rules found in a textbook they must start from the principles and build on these. This book gives students a clear understanding of these principles, providing valuable knowledge about the practice of international financial law as well as the concepts behind it. Globalization has had a huge impact on financial law transactions; future problems may occur or be litigated in foreign jurisdictions. As such it is crucial to understand concepts that are relevant to other jurisdictions, especially those that are not as significant to UK domestic law. Covering other common law centers including Hong Kong, Singapore and Sydney this book also looks at the distinction of legal concepts between civil and common law. Principles of International Financial Law provides students with a clear and authoritative understanding of the principles of the rules guiding this complex area of law. It allows students to understand the reasoning of court decisions and predict for themselves the future approach of courts, in cases where there are precedents in place as well as without.
