The purpose of this book is to clarify and simplify the meaning, impact and application of the UK and EU regulations on market abuse. The book examines in detail the UK market abuse regime, including:

• The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000
  
• The implementing regulations
  
• The interpretation of the regulations by the Financial Services Authority
  
• The conduct of investigations
  
• The defences and appeals available against a finding of market abuse

The same analysis is also applied to EU regulations. Finally, in order to help clarify the position of traders in an international market, the book also discusses key issues of how the new UK and EU regulations interact with US regulations.

The second edition of this well received work is updated to include important enforcement policy decisions and market abuse cases decided by the FSA and referred to the Financial Services Markets Tribunal.
