Overview of Banking Law in Four English-Language Jurisdictions e-bog

In each of Chapters 1 to 4, the monograph introduces the legal system of four English-Language jurisdictions, namely Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States of America, and then considers the regulators, and some of the laws that regulate, banking activities there. Chapter 5 comprises concluding comments, based upon the work performed for the earlier chapters. In all three federal jurisdictions, namely, Australia, Canada, and the United States of America, banking law falls within the purview of the federal government. Notwithstanding this, the structure and content of the laws differs to some extent - which is a result, in part, of the particular history of the jurisdiction.
