Financial Collateral. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780198816935.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book draws together all of the property law, regulatory and contractual issues relevant to financial collateral transactions. Collateralized finance transactions played a major role in the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers and the near-failure of AIG during the early months of the global financial crisis, and they are being increasingly recognised as being integral to the stability of the global financial system. The book provides a detailed legal analysis of the types of transactions which make up collateralised financing transactions and examines them in their commercial context. Recognising that financial collateral transactions are often global in nature, the book covers the legal position in the UK, US, and the EU with specific relevance to practice in the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. The book opens with an explanation of how financial collateral transactions are construed, including the relevant standard contract forms. The following chapters discuss the major legal issues and practical considerations, as well as a number of specialist concepts such as safe harbours, 'minimum floors' and securities custody. The book brings together consideration of the European Securities Financing Regulation, the Collateral Directive, and relevant parts of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how mergers, acquisitions, and restructuring are regulated, both within the formal body of corporate law and as that law interacts with other bodies of law such as securities (including listing standards), antitrust, industry-specific regulation, and regulations of cross-border transactions. It begins with an overview of relevant terminology and scope of M&A and restructuring and how they differ from other corporate transactions or activities. It then considers major types of M&A transactions, the core goals of corporate law or governance, and other bodies of law (antitrust, industry-based regulation, regulation of foreign ownership of business, and tax) that give special treatment to M&A and restructuring, and sometimes interact with corporate law and governance. It also looks at laws that constrain M&A transactions and those that facilitate them. It concludes by summarizing empirical research and discussing what variations in types and modes of regulation governing M&A and restructuring transactions imply.

Full textAbstract:
This is the second edition of the major practitioner text which analyses the legal issues surrounding international finance transactions operating under English law. As readers of the first edition will already know, the work provides a detailed transaction-led discussion of all aspects of international financing, with supporting analysis of the commercial and regulatory background and the legal principles which underpin international finance practices. A comprehensive treatment of the subject is provided, with topics including conflict of laws, cross-border insolvency, regulation of banking activities, loan facilities, jurisdiction and the resolution of disputes, legal opinions in financial transactions, syndicated lending, bond issues, derivatives and structured finance and equipment financing. Whilst the work has established itself as a major practitioner text, the problem areas are also tackled with valuable references to the relevant authorities and in a highly analytical way. As a result, the work has found a home on the bookshelves of many academics and students. It is anticipated that this new edition will continue to appeal to a broad constituency of readers. This is a fast-moving area, and readers already familiar with the first edition will not be surprised by the scale of new material covered in this second edition. A significant new development has also been that the work has moved from a single-authored to a multiple authored text. A truly expert team of contributors has been assembled, and the editors have striven to maintain the consistency and lively commentary which was a badge of the first edition, whilst drawing on the advantages of a stable of specialist authors. Thus it is anticipated that existing readers and those new to the work alike will find this an invaluable source for all aspects of their practice and research in the field.

Full textAbstract:
Will the currency of the future be bitcoins or cryptocurrencies? With Fintech and Digital ecosystems growing rapidly, what is the future of banks? Technology is fast replacing paper currency with electronic transactions. Finance has become sophisticated with complex and diversified products. New technology and instruments have enabled growth of global financial assets to more than $160 trillion. Geographical boundaries for financial transactions have disappeared with transactions taking place seamlessly across the globe. Due to the global connectedness of financial markets, any event in one country can impact the whole world instantaneously. The effects of the last decade’s financial crisis are still being felt in major economies. Financing is being used both as a weapon in the balance of power and as a facilitator of cross-border acquisitions. Governments are competing with tax rates to attract global corporations. Individual investors have the opportunities and tools available for geographical diversification of their investments.

Full textAbstract:
In this new account of Athenian demokratia, the most significant human activities in the polis were not political deliberations or economic transactions but ritual engagements with gods, the non-human agencies who ultimately controlled the very conditions of existence. To a point, offerings to gods were like taxes rendered to maintain the infrastructure of the cosmos. Ritual actions were thus performed more or less continually, at a wide range of locations, from household shrines to major sanctuaries, by all inhabitants of Attica, male and female, young and old, Athenian and non-Athenian alike. As the chapter stresses, these actions are best understood as ecological transactions, rather than as purely “religious” practices. Indeed, in such circumstances, where gods were potentially everywhere and anywhere in experience, the modern category “religion” has little or no valence or meaning. The chapter also highlights the ritual contributions to the life of the polis that were made by females, who played literally vital ecological roles through their involvements in numerous divine cults.

Full textAbstract:
This book is an authoritative practical guide to financial transactions under Islamic law. Global interest in Shari’a-compliant financial practices continues to increase, but Islamic financial products can often be hard to understand, not least because they often cut across rather than strictly align with more conventional financial products. This book provides the necessary explanation by describing the theoretical underpinnings of Islamic finance as a whole before going on to examine the major individual transaction structures in detail. The first part of the book informs the reader about the general background to Islamic finance and the relevant aspects (and sources) of Islamic law. It also considers the role of Shari’a supervisory boards, Islamic financial institutions and accounting approaches. The second part of the book concentrates on Islamic financial law in practice by focusing on individual concepts and techniques. This section explains the basic requirements for Islamic finance contracts both in terms of the underlying asset types and also both the applicability and acceptability of the underlying asset. Arrangements discussed include Mudaraba (trustee finance), Musharaka (partnership or joint venture), Murabaha (sale of goods), and Sukuk (participation securities: coupons etc). Takaful (insurance) is also examined in detail. A new chapter has also been added to this second part of the book detailing the principles of Islamic investment funds and commonly applied structures.

Marke, Alastair, Michael Mehling, and Fabiano de Andrade Correa, eds. Governing Carbon Markets with Distributed Ledger Technology. Cambridge University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/9781108919166.
Full textAbstract:
Carbon markets involve complex governance challenges, such as ensuring transparency of emissions, facilitating as well as recording transactions, overseeing market activity and preventing abuse. Conventionally, these have been addressed with a combination of regulatory, procedural and technical structures that impose significant burdens on market participants and administrators while remaining vulnerable to system shocks and illicit practices. Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) has the potential to address these problems. This volume offers the first book-length exploration of how carbon markets can be governed using DLT, offering conceptual and theoretical analysis, practical case studies, and a roadmap for implementation of a DLT-based architecture in major existing and emerging carbon markets. It surveys existing expertise on distributed ledger technology, provides progress updates from industry professionals, and shows how this technology could offer a cost-effective and sustainable solution to double-counting and other governance concerns identified as major challenges in the implementation of carbon markets.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter evaluates the merits of Sao Paulo as a venue for international arbitration proceedings. It discusses the history and development of arbitration in Brazil; the processes and rules involved as well as the role of courts in the conduct of arbitration proceedings; and rules for arbitral awards. IT concludes that Sao Paulo's status as Brazil's leading center for business and financial transactions makes it the perfect breeding ground for arbitration. From the creation of the first arbitration center in 1979, to the consolidation of an ‘arbitration culture’ by the relentless work of the local arbitration community, Sao Paulo remains Brazil's preferred venue for arbitral proceedings. The decisions by the local courts represent the most compelling evidence that Sao Paulo is comparable to other major international arbitration venues.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter focuses on leases. Leases are most commonly associated with transactions involving land, and have been a feature of the law of real property since the Middle Ages. However, other forms of lease have become increasingly prominent in modern times. There are now major industries concerned with the leasing of chattels, such as vehicles or aircraft, and leases of intangible rights have become commonplace in the world of intellectual property. The key feature of such leases is that the lessee obtains the right to exclude others from using the relevant chattel or intellectual property. This is in contrast to a mere licence, by which the licensee obtains only the right to use the chattel or property himself. The chapter looks specifically at leases over land—its nature, historical origins, and whether they can be properly classified as choses in action.

Full textAbstract:
In this chapter, a developmental psychopathology conceptualization of child maltreatment is presented as an overarching heuristic with relevance for understanding the development of alcohol and substance use and abuse. This chapter also provides illustrations from research on how child maltreatment contributes to problem substance use in adolescence. Child maltreatment represents an extreme failure of the caregiving environment to provide many of the expectable experiences necessary to facilitate normal developmental processes. Maltreatment ushers in a probabilistic epigenesis for children characterized by an increased likelihood of failure and disruption in the successful resolution of major developmental tasks. These repeated disruptions lead to compromised developmental organizations of diverse developmental systems that increase the probability of the emergence of maladaptation, psychopathology, and substance abuse as negative transactions between the child and the environment ensue. Person-centered personality organizations and genetic moderation of maltreatment risk on substance use outcomes are also highlighted.

Manning, J. G. Cross-Cultural Communication in Egypt. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195386844.003.0015.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter offers a paradigmatic case of cross-cultural communication from ancient Egypt. Because it was pictographic, Egyptian hieroglyphic script combined the literary and the visual in a way that rendered communication both a priestly privilege and a royal one. It was an important public phenomenon, too, analyzed here in terms of transaction costs. Commonly applied to the study of the ancient economy, the nature and extent of transaction costs explain why and how the pharaohs made use of monuments and decrees to unify a diverse society. The use of hieroglyphics did not prevent the use of other scripts as well, and in Late Antiquity, Egypt became partly bilingual. Bilingualism, which had always existed in major ancient marketplaces and at royal courts, now became widespread.

Ndikumana, Léonce, and James K. Boyce, eds. On the Trail of Capital Flight from Africa. Oxford University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198852728.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
This book investigates the dynamics of capital flight from Angola, Côte d’Ivoire, and South Africa, countries that have witnessed large-scale illicit financial outflows in recent decades. Quantitative, qualitative, and institutional analysis for each country is used to examine the modus operandi of capital flight; that is, the “who,” “how,” and “where” dimensions of the phenomenon. “Who” refers to major domestic and foreign players; “how” refers to mechanisms of capital acquisition, transfer, and concealment; and “where” refers to the destinations of capital flight and the transactions involved. The evidence reveals a complex network of actors and enablers involved in orchestrating and facilitating capital flight and the accumulation of private wealth in offshore secrecy jurisdictions. This underscores the reality that capital flight is a global phenomenon, and that measures to curtail it are a shared responsibility for Africa and the global community. Addressing the problem of capital flight and related issues such as trade misinvoicing, money laundering, tax evasion and theft of public assets by political and economic elites will require national and global efforts with a high level of coordination.

Full textAbstract:
This book delivers detailed analysis and in-depth comparison of the substantive law for the sale of goods in domestic and international transactions. It provides comparative analysis of three major sources of sales law: The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of Goods, the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts (PICC), and Article Two: Sales of the Uniform Commercial Code. Practitioners, academics, and anyone involved in the sale or purchase of goods in the international market will need this thorough analysis of both the text of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) and the cases that have addressed and interpreted the CISG. The new edition examines the number of American cases on the CISG decided since the last edition, and the several hundred major non-American CISG cases, concentrating on the development of specific points of law that have become important and contentious areas. It continues to provide a complete discussion of the PICC including the latest provisions on set-off, assignment, and limitation periods, and timely coverage of the new supplementary model clauses for use with the Principles. The book compares and analyses the PICC, the CISG and the Uniform Commercial Code in a detailed way. It explores instances when one may be more applicable than the other and enables further understanding of all three instruments and the options available under international and domestic US law.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how, under English law, there is a major conceptual divide between security interests and absolute interests. In relation to personal property, absolute interests are either ownership or possession. These are both rights in rem: they are enforceable against the whole world, including the liquidator or trustee in bankruptcy of a person against whom the right is asserted. Security interests are also rights in rem, but because they are given as security for an obligation, they are limited by being defeasible upon performance of that obligation. While English law will normally give effect to the intentions of the parties as expressed in the contract, there are some limits to the extent that the parties can change the nature of interests, and it is at this point that the court will recharacterize a transaction or an interest.

Low, Gary, ed. Convergence and Divergence of Private Law in Asia. Cambridge University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/9781108566391.
Full textAbstract:
There have been an increasing need for greater integration of many Asian economies, either within the confines of ASEAN or on a more geo-economically strategic scale including major Asian jurisdictions like China, Japan, and Korea. A number of key personalities within the regional legal fraternity have advanced views that such integration ought to occur through the harmonization of legal rules, arguing that in doing so, uncertainty and other transaction costs would be reduced and commercial confidence within the region concomitantly increased. This edited volume brings together eminent and promising scholars and practitioners to investigate what convergence and divergence means in their respective fields and for Asia. Interwoven in the details of each tale of convergence is whether and how convergence ought to take place, and in so choosing, what are the attendant consequences for that choice.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Saudi Arabia has never commanded more attention and yet it remains one of the world’s least understood countries. The book draws on a systematic study of Saudi law over nearly a decade; the author’s involvement as a legal expert in landmark decisions around the world; and his experience as a law professor in leading universities in the Middle East, Europe, and America. The book also reflects his work with law students and practicing colleagues, particularly in commercial cases but also in those involving government and human rights. The Normalization of Saudi Law goes to the heart of Saudi society, politics, and business by exploring the workings of its courts. 
The Normalization of Saudi Law will interest both readers following the fast-changing world of comparative law and those intrigued by Saudi Arabia. Legal practitioners and scholars will find a comprehensive analysis of the law’s operation in the Kingdom. The practitioner will access full thematic coverage of all important fields: judicial organization, contracts and torts, crime, family, property, administration, commerce, companies, banking, insolvency, the stock market, the constitution, succession, and human rights, with major statutes and a large number of court decisions distilled in 16 chapters. The scholar is presented with an assessment of a dynamic legal process, a “normalization” of Saudi law where developing norms are both “normal” (usual) and “normative” (carrying moral force). This includes judges reshaping Islamic law by applying it in everyday transactions and disputes as they interpret classical treatises and modern statutes. The Normalization of Saudi Law paints a compelling picture of a fast-changing country with a unique legal trajectory.

Full textAbstract:
Public–private partnerships are now well established around the globe, and private finance plays a significant role in long-term infrastructure contracts. Reasons for wanting private finance in megaprojects have varied between countries and changed over time, and it will continue to attract governments who are either unable or unwilling to publicly finance major projects. The availability of private finance has seen many megaprojects delivered when they would not otherwise have gone ahead. In the same way that a private credit card can be used with an inappropriately high interest rate to purchase today what is paid for tomorrow, so too can private finance amount to little more than a megacredit card for eager governments eyeing off a desirable, immediate, infrastructure transaction. There is increasing academic evidence about how well private finance works, but the verdict is still out because the evidence is not conclusive.

Hazel, Fox, and Webb Philippa. The Law of State Immunity. Oxford University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/law/9780198744412.001.0001.
Full textAbstract:
Revised and updated to include recent developments since 2013, this new edition provides a detailed guide to the operation of the international rule of State immunity which bars one State's national courts from exercising criminal or civil jurisdiction over claims made against another State. Building on the analysis of its two previous editions, it reviews relevant material at both international and national levels with particular attention to US and UK law; the 2004 UN Convention on Jurisdictional Immunities of the State and its Property (not yet in force), and also seeks to assess the significance of recent changes in the evolution of the law. Although the restrictive doctrine of immunity is now widely observed by which foreign States may be sued in national courts for their commercial transactions, the immunity rule remains controversial, not only by reason of the recognition of a single State's right to deny a remedy for a wrong — China, a major trading State, continues to adhere to the absolute bar — but also by the exclusion of any reparation or relief for the commission on the orders of a State of grave human rights violations. The complexity and moral challenge of the issues is illustrated by high profile cases. The expanding extraterritorial jurisdiction of national courts with regard to torture in disregard of pleas of act of State and nonjusticiability offers a further challenge to the exclusionary nature and continued observance of State immunity. Recent developments in key areas are examined, including: impleading; public policy and non-justiciability; universal civil jurisdiction for reparation for international crimes; the application of the employment exception to embassies and diplomats; immunity from enforcement and procedural measures; immunity of State officials, and tensions between national constitutional requirements and superior international norms.
