Ellinger's Modern Banking Law Fourth Edition
By
E. P. Ellinger, Eva Lomnicka, and Richard Hooley
Reviews
* \\\\\\\'Oxford has
clearly brought together three of the most distinguished names in
banking and financial services at this time...The Book itself remains
a classic in terms of its content and presentation. The style is
highly readable but professional, while the substantive content is
authoritative and informed. The text has also always managed to
produce a considerably more informed and insightful description of
banking markets and practice than is available in almost any other
purely legal text...This is an impressive text. It also feels
up-to-date and relevant which reflects its Modern Banking Law title.
It is a credit to the three distinguished co-authors involved and a
\\\\\\\'must have\\\\\\\' for all lawyers, bankers and students or any other
interested parties in this area.\\\\\\\' - G. A. Walker, Journal of
international Banking Law and Regulation

Ellinger\\\\\\\'s Modern
Banking Law sets banking law clearly against the background of
general legal doctrines and banking regulation, discussing its
operation in the context of its wider economic function. The book
examines the different types of banks and banking organizations
operating in the UK, also making use of American, Canadian, and
Australian examples. It provides analysis of the banker and customer
relationship, explaining the different types of accounts available,
the duties and the liabilities of banks, and the latest processes
used in the clearance of cheques and money transfers. Issues relating
to overdrafts, bank loans, credit agreements, and securities for
bankers\\\\\\\' advance are covered in the closing chapters.

recent developments in electronic banking and payment, consumer
credit, securities, and financial regulation. Also included are new

maps closely on to university law courses.
