First published in 1904, ,Paget’s Law of Banking has established itself as the leading practitioner text on banking law, combining meticulous accuracy and depth with a clear approach to this complex area.

The 13th edition has been substantially rewritten and expanded to provide a thoroughly modern approach to the subject matter, while remaining unique in providing a comprehensive, clear and accurate statement of the law of banking, with a particular emphasis on the principles which underpin the case law.

Developments since the last edition include:-

• Enterprise Act 2002 and many changes in the area of insolvency
• New Banking Codes
• Spectrum relating to fixed and floating charges
• Major changes to Accounting Standards
• Changes to FSMA
• Consumer credit reforms
• New Disclosure Rules
