The new edition of this respected work guides practitioners through the complete range of issues relevant to banking litigation. It covers all the major areas of potential conflict, from disputes with domestic customers to those arising from global custodianship and international banking. Procedural advice is given alongside more strategic considerations, helping practitioners respond effectively at all stages of a dispute.

The text has been extensively updated to provide full coverage of recent legislation (such as the FSMA 2000, the Human Rights Act, the Data Protection Act, Land Registration Act 2002, and the Computer Mis-use Act), as well as changes to the Banking Code of Practice, and the FSA Ombudsman. There is a new chapter devoted to the regulatory regime and liability under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, and one to the mis-selling of investments; while the money laundering section has been completely revised in light of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
