Conclusion

The Law and Practice of International Finance- University Edition is based on the author's university courses and provides authoritative and all-encompassing coverage of the law relating to international finance. The work covers the three principal approaches -the policies of the law, the legal rules and also the practical transactions- so that readers are presented with doctrine, data and deals, each of which throws light on the other.

For the first time, the topic is dealt with on a worldwide comparative basis with reference to nearly all of the world's 320 jurisdictions. The result is that readers have a panoramic view of interntational finance which not only has practitioner-based deals but also elucidates the law on a global basis without being tied to any single jurisdiction.

The topics covered in the book include:

• Jurisdictions of the world, criteria for distinguishing jurisdictions and the main legal groups.
• Insolvency policies and international finance.
• International syndicated loans and bond issues.
• Set-off and netting, together with payments and securities clearing systems.
• Security interests worldwide and title finance.
• The use of trusts in international finance.
• The regulation of international finance.
• Derivatives and securitisations.
• Conflict of laws.
