Ellinger's Modern banking law

"Ellinger's Modern Banking Law sets banking law 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 United Kingdom, also making use of American, Canadian, and Australian examples." "The fourth edition has been fully updated and revised to take into account the recent developments in electronic banking and payment, consumer credit, securities, and financial regulation. Also included are new chapters on money laundering and bank guarantees, ensuring this text maps closely on to university law courses."--BOOK JACKET.
