Review
"'this is a big book, with big themes and an author with the necessary experience to back them up.... Full of insights as to the theories that underlie the rules governing contract, property and security, it is an important contribution to the law of international commerce and finance.' William Blair QC, Law Quarterly Review 'Professor Jan Dalhuisen... presents a very different case: that of a civilized and cultivated cosmopolitan legal scholar, with a keen sense of international commercial and financial practice, with an in-depth grounding in both comparative legal history and comparative law, combined with the ability to transcend conventional English black-letter law description with critical judgment towards institutional wisdom and intellectual fashions.' Thomas Walde, International and Comparative Law Quarterly"
Product Description
The third edition of this uniquely wide-ranging work once again grapples with the dynamic and complex fields of law that make up the modern law of international commerce, finance and trade. As a guide for students and practitioners, it is unrivalled. The original structure has been retained, with an extensive introductory chapter dealing with the sources of modern commercial and financial law in its comparative context, the forces of transnationalisation, and the development of the modern law merchant or lex mercatoria as a largely autonomous finance-drive event. Further chapters deal with modern developments in contract, payments, moveable tangible and intangible assets and the emergence of new proprietary rights in them. Later chapters look at finance leases, repos, receivable financings and securitisations, the regulation of cross-border financial services and investment banking practices.
