This new work is the first comparative study of central and eastern European secured transactions laws to be written in English. It gives a valuable insight into the legal reforms taking place in the transition economies of central and eastern Europe (and elsewhere), explaining the general mechanics of secured transactions laws in a helpful and practical way.

The book will explore the characteristics that make security law useful from a practical point of view, the purpose being not merely to describe existing rules on security but to concentrate on the question of how those rules can apply in practice. The author concentrates on seven central and eastern European secured transactions laws in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Russian Federation and the Slovak Republic. These laws are contrasted with the EBRD's Model Law on Secured Transactions and the EBRD's Core Principles for a Modern Secured Transactions Law. In addition, English, German and US law (which, among others, influenced the EBRD's work) are used as further reference sources.

  • The first comparative study of central and eastern European secured transactions laws in English
  • Reflection on the fundamentals of security law and the practical implications of secured transactions enables a better understanding of this important area of law
  • An essential guide for anyone dealing with investments and financing in central and eastern Europe, either directly or in an advisory role
  • Includes comparative coverage of US, western and eastern European security laws, offering broad yet detailed treatment of the subject
  • Written by an expert directly involved in the drafting of the Model Law on Secured Transactions prepared by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)
