Taylor & Francis Ltd EU Competition Law and the Financial Services
Book SynopsisCompetition law is a complex and constantly evolving area of law which affects every aspect of the market economy, including the financial services sector. This book is a comprehensive and practical guide to the application of the EU competition rules to banking and insurance industries.This book is divided into two parts: the first part explores the application of Articles 101, 102 and 107 TFEU to the insurance industry. Emphasis is placed on recent changes which have progressively eroded the block exemption regime that traditionally benefited the insurance industry.In the second part of the book, focus is on the application of the Articles of TFEU to the banking industry, with specific reference to card payment systems, which give rise to some of the most intricate antitrust issues in the financial services sector. Relevant Commission decisions and European Court of Justice case law are discussed and suggestions are made for an alternative regulatory framework througTrade Review"Dr Andrea Lista has provided a detailed, well-structured and thought provoking analysis of very topical issues in relation to the enforcement of competition law in the financial services sector. This sector has been at the forefront of the debate in the last few years, especially as a result of the recent financial crisis... Dr Lista's contribution to this debate is very welcome as it provides a coherent assessment of the particularities of the financial sector and of the way that competition policy should be applied in this sector."- Professor Ioannis Kokkoris, Chair in Law and Economics, School of Law, University of Reading, UK"Professor Lista contributed a very well-structured and thought provoking book on the thorny issues arising from the enforcement of competition law in the financial services industry. Such a book is likely to become an exceptional point of reference for students, researchers and practitioners of competition law in the field of banking and insurance markets.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cryptocurrencies and the Regulatory Challenge
Book SynopsisAs a social process that places great stock in its stability and predictability, law does not deal easily or well with change. In a modern world that is in a constant and rapid state of flux, law is being placed under considerable stress in its efforts to fulfill its task as a primary regulator of social and economic behaviour. This challenge is particularly acute in the realm of technology and its profound ramifications for social and economic behaviour. The innovative Techno-Age not only offers fresh ways of handling old problems, but also throws up entirely new problems; traditional ways of thinking about and responding to these old and new problems and their optimal resolution are no longer as tenable as many once thought. One such example is the burgeoning world of cryptocurrencies this peer-to-peer digital network presents a profound challenge to the status quo of the financial services sector, to the established modes of state-backed fiat currency, and to the regulatory authTable of Contents LAW’S REGULATORY VALUE AND VIRTUE: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE CRYPTO-WORLD INTO THE CRYPTO WORLD: PROBLEMATICS, PITFALLS AND PROSPECTS OF PIGEONS, PROPERTY AND VIRTUALITIES: A TAXONOMIC TEASER CURRENCY, COMMODITIES AND SECURITIES: SQUARE PEGS AND ROUND HOLES A SELF-REGULATED WORLD: A POLITICAL EXERCISE THE REGULATORY CHALLENGE: TOWARDS A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TAKING REGULATION SERIOUSLY: A CRYPTO REGIME OF ITS OWN AN EFFORT AT CRYPTO-REGULATION: GETTING SMARTER GETTING WITH THE PROGRAM: GOVERNANCE AND RESPONSIBILITY PAYING THE PRICE: SOME CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

Taylor & Francis Ltd Contract Law in Changing Times
Book SynopsisThis collection of essays provides a rich and contemporary discussion of the principle of pacta sunt servanda. This principle, which requires that valid agreements are to be honoured, is a cornerstone of contract law. Focusing on contributions from Asia, this book shows that, despite its natural and universal appeal, the pacta sunt servanda principle is neither absolute nor immutable. Exceptions to the binding force of contract must be available in limited circumstances to avoid hardship and unfairness. This book offers readers new comparative perspectives on the appropriate balance between contractual certainty and flexibility in an era of social instability. Expert authors, mostly from East and Southeast Asia, explore when their domestic legal systems allow exceptions from the binding force of contracts. Doctrines discussed include impossibility, frustration, change of circumstance, force majeure, illegality as well as rights of withdrawal. Other chapters Table of ContentsPart A.
