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.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Sovereign Debt Restructuring and the Law
Book SynopsisThe book sheds light on the perhaps most important legal conundrum in the context of sovereign debt restructuring: the holdout creditor problem. Absent an international bankruptcy regime for sovereigns, holdout creditors may delay or even thwart the efficient resolution of sovereign debt crises by leveraging contractual provisions and, in an increasing number of cases, by seeking to enforce a debt claim against the sovereign in courts or international tribunals.Following an introduction to sovereign debt and its restructuring, the book provides the first comprehensive analysis of the holdout creditor problem in the context of the two largest sovereign debt restructuring operations in history: the Argentine restructurings of 2005 and 2010 and the 2012 Greek private sector involvement. By reviewing numerous lawsuits and arbitral proceedings initiated against Argentina and Greece across a dozen different jurisdictions, it distils the organizing principles for ongoing and future Trade ReviewNo issue in sovereign finance has preoccupied the attention of scholars, politicians and lawyers in this century more than the problem of holdout creditors in sovereign debt workouts. Sebastian Grund has given us a magisterial survey of how courts and arbitrators have dealt with the claims of holdout creditors in two of the largest sovereign debt restructurings in history — Argentina and Greece.Lee Buchheit, Honorary Professor, University of Edinburgh School of Law and former Senior Partner at Cleary Gottlieb Steen & HamiltonThis book is a delightful treatment of two of the most important restructurings in the modern history of sovereign debt, Argentina and Greece. While the restructurings and the central problem of holdout creditors manifested themselves in very different ways in the different cases, Grund shows us the lessons we can learn from the commonalities. The treatment of what happened in the particular cases (and there were many) is sure to be invaluable to be both scholars and practitioners.Mitu Gulati, Perre Bowen Professor of Law, University of Virginia School of LawHoldout creditors are a massive impediment to the orderly restructuring of sovereign debt. They are typically investors who’ve bought the debt to profit from the sovereign debtor, not the original lenders to it. This book explores the approaches of an unusually wide range of national courts to this problem, and distils the lessons from the Argentine and Greek restructurings. It sheds light on issues that need it – as those who ultimately pay the price today of these cynical investments are the poorer citizens of poor nations.

Cambridge University Press Comparative Takeover Regulation
Book SynopsisComparative Takeover Regulation compares the laws relating to takeovers in leading Asian economies and relates them to broader global developments. It is ideal for educational institutions that teach corporate law, corporate governance, and mergers and acquisitions, as well as for law firms, corporate counsel and other practitioners.Trade Review'Wai Yee Wan and Umakanth Varottil have done an invaluable service by collecting a comparative study of Asian takeover law as well as a volume which examines the theoretical underpinnings of takeover law itself. The essays are practical while also providing a thorough and intelligent study of the variety of Asian takeover law. Practitioners will find this volume an invaluable resource while academics in this area will find that this is the 'must read' book for use in their research.' Steven Davidoff Solomon, University of California, Berkeley and The Deal Professor for The New York Times'Comparative Takeover Regulation: Global and Asian Perspectives is a welcome addition to the study of comparative takeover regulation. The chapters in the collection are theoretically and empirically informed and clearly advance our understanding of takeover regulation in multiple Asian jurisdictions. In particular, the chapters in the collection provide a very useful analysis of the nature and operation of takeover regulation in the jurisdictions covered in the book, and provide real insight into varied drivers and effects of regulatory transplants in these jurisdictions. The chapters in the book will quickly find their way onto takeover regulation reading lists.' David Kershaw, London School of Economics and Political Science'A pathfinding international collaboration on a map for the uncharted territory of takeover regulation in Asia, this book demonstrates comparative corporate law scholarship at its best, displaying, with a high degree of sensitivity and sophistication, the subtle interplay among law, politics and economics. It will surely serve as an indispensable stepping stone for those who aspire to grasp regulatory issues on takeovers in major Asian jurisdictions from a global and systematic perspective.' Kon Sik Kim, Professor and Dean Emeritus, Seoul National University School of Law'This book is bound to become a standard reference for readers interested in comparative takeover regulation, as it provides a better understanding about M&A in Asia. It poses intriguing questions for scholars and practitioners, such as how Asian countries differ from their Western peers, and how transplantation has led to a wealth of variations. This fascinating volume addresses them by delineating the takeover dynamics in eight Asian jurisdictions, and provides us with a series of compelling answers. Through joint efforts, not only are nuances and evolutions explained convincingly, but also the legal origins analysis is put under reconsideration.' Guo Li, Professor and Vice Dean, Peking University Law School'… destined to become both a useful reference source for practitioners and scholars who work in the area of takeover regulation, as well as a source of inspiration for further research in this increasingly important area of regulation in Asia.'

Cambridge University Press The Law of Failure
Book SynopsisIf a broker-dealer liquidates in federal bankruptcy court, why does an insurance company liquidate in state court, and a bank outside of court altogether? Why do some businesses re-organize under state law ''assignments'', rather than the more well-known Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code? Why do some laws use the language of bankruptcy but without advancing policy goals of the Bankruptcy Code? In this illuminating work, Stephen J. Lubben tackles these questions and many others related to the collective law of business insolvency in the United States. In the first book of its kind, Lubben notes the broad similarities between the many insolvency systems in the United States while describing the fundamental differences lurking therein. By considering the whole sweep of these laws - running the gamut from Chapter 11 to obscure receivership provisions of the National Bank Act - readers will acquire a fundamental understanding of the ''law of failure''.Trade Review'Professor Lubben has a great knack for making the most complicated matter understandable. The Law of Failure balances the depth of analysis that's often required with the clarity and practicality that practitioners demand.' Robert E. Gerber, former US Bankruptcy Judge, Southern District of New York'Required reading for practitioners and policy makers who need to plumb the intricacies of the divergent insolvency and restructuring systems in the United States … One can only hope that this thorough work spurs some thoughtful rethinking and re-engineering of the myriad inconsistent and often inefficient systems of the Law of Failure.' Richard Levin, co-drafter of the United States Bankruptcy Code, Co-Head of Restructuring and Bankruptcy Practice, Jenner & Block LLP, New York'[Lubben's] thorough march through the byzantine provisions of the various financial distress resolution regimes is a scholarly delight. His writing is as captivating as his analysis is thorough. More importantly, the questions he raises regarding the overlap (and inconsistencies) among the various regimes are critical for anyone interested in coherent regulatory policy.' John A. E. Pottow, John Philip Dawson Collegiate Professor of Law, University of Michigan Law School'Lubben provides a concise academic analysis of American business insolvency law for students and practitioners. He presents historical and topic-specific approaches to a body of law that goes beyond a basic understanding of federal bankruptcy law. His purpose in writing the book is to share his exploration of the vast array of state and federal insolvency laws, from Nevada's insolvent campgrounds law to the Dodd–Frank Act. His reader-friendly content includes such helpful information as an explanation of a partnership law concept called the 'jingle rule'. It also includes historical trivia: at the time the 1898 Bankruptcy Act was passed, with the exception of the Civil War period, the primary activities of the federal government had been to operate the post office and collect tariffs. Much of the book covers examples of insolvencies not covered under the current Bankruptcy Code.' E. G. Ferris, ChoiceTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Why business insolvency?; 2. The federal law of business insolvency; 3. State business insolvency law; 4. Financial institutions under federal law; 5. State financial institution insolvency law; 6. Looking for patterns; 7.
