The Law on Financial Derivatives

"This fifth edition of The Law on Financial Derivatives has been almost completely re-written since the last edition in 2006. It continues to present a comprehensive analysis of the substantive law of England and Wales and of financial regulation in general as they affect financial derivatives, together with a detailed analysis of the standard market documentation of financial derivatives. Since the last edition there have been approximately 5,000 pages of case law dealing with financial derivatives, a large number of significant cases dealing with finance law more generally, an entirely new tax code governing derivatives contracts, and of course a seismic change in the public policy approach to the regulation of derivatives markets. New chapters dealing in detail with the regulatory developments since the last edition have been added to this book. Of most significance, however, for many readers will be the greatly expanded and reorganised chapters on the documentation issues with financial derivatives."--Preface.
