Download or read book Security Rights in Movable Property in European Private Law written by Eva-Maria Kieninger and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-08-26 with total page 827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For every transnational lawyer, it is vital to know the differences between national secured transactions laws. Since the applicable law is determined by the place where the collateral is situated, it may change when movables are brought from one state to another. Introductory essays from comparative lawyers set the scene. The book then presents a survey of the law relating to secured transactions in the member states of the European Union. Following the Common Core approach, the national reports are centred around fifteen hypothetical cases dealing with the most important issues of secured transactions law, such as the creation of security rights in different business situations, the relationship between debtor and secured creditor, the nature of the creditor's rights and their enforcement as against third parties. each case is followed by a comparative summary. A general report evaluates the possibilities of European harmonisation in the field of secured transactions law.

Since credits usually only are granted against security, the rules on collateral securities in both movables and monetary claims are of great practical importance in the DCFR.

Download or read book Discussion Paper on Moveable Transactions written by Scottish Law Commission and published by Stationery Office/Tso. This book was released on 2011 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This discussion paper looks at three connected areas of law, all important to the smooth running of the Scottish economy. In all three areas Scots law appears to be out of date, and insufficiently business-friendly. From an international perspective current Scots law would appear to be in need of radical reform. The three areas are: (i) he transfer of financial rights (ie a creditor transferring the right to payment, so that the debtor will have a new creditor); (ii) security over corporeal moveable property ("security" means security for a debt) - although Scots law, like other systems, allows security by delivery to the lender (eg handing over a gold watch to a pawnbroker), there are legal hurdles in the way of non-possessory security; (iii) security over incorporeal moveable property. The Discussion Paper discusses the current law, identifies its shortcomings, and suggests possible ways forward. Other legal systems are looked at, including the model that originated in the USA and has now been adopted (with some variations) in a number of other countries including Australia, Canada and New Zealand. It is suggested that Scots law would benefit from adopting some of the model's ideas. It is proposed that there should be a new type of security right, covering both corporeal and incorporeal moveable property. There would be a new online Register of Moveable Transactions, in which the security right would be registered. The new register could also be used to register transfers of financial rights, for example in securitisations and factoring.
Download or read book Banking Law and Financial Regulation in the UK and EU written by Pierre de Gioia Carabellese and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-28 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banking Law and Financial Regulation in the UK and EU seeks to blend orthodox topics covered within the banking and financial law syllabus, such as sources of banking and financial law, financial markets, financial and banking institutions, financial transactions, and banking and financial insolvency, with a careful analysis of emerging issues and more contemporary topics. This advanced-level textbook offers a new format for the study of banking and financial law, placing it within the wider context of economic development. As such, two elements are integral to this new methodology: the rise of techno-banking and digitalisation of the financial sector, and Brexit. Departing from the approaches of more traditional textbooks in this area, the book also takes a comparative approach to UK and EU banking law, highlighting the legal consequences of the UK’s exit from the EU. Aspects of human rights are integrated throughout and current debates and developments around financial crises – the advancement of technological innovations in the banking sector and contemporary topics, such as health crises, energy, and ESG and the environment – is taken into account to provide the reader with the opportunity to develop their own autonomous and broader understanding of the various concepts. Banking Law and Financial Regulation in the UK and EU will be a valuable text for students taking advanced undergraduate and postgraduate-level courses in banking law and financial law, as well as practising lawyers, managers and accountants.
Download or read book Secured Transactions Law Reform written by Louise Gullifer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Secured transactions law has been subjected to a close scrutiny over the last two decades. One of the main reasons for this is the importance of availability of credit and the consequent need to reform collateral laws in order to improve access to finance. The ability to give security effectively influences not only the cost of credit but also, in some cases, whether credit will be available at all. This requires rules that are transparent and readily accessible to non-lawyers as well as rules that recognise the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises. This book critically engages with the challenges posed by inefficient secured credit laws. It offers a comparative analysis of the reasons and the needs for a secured transactions law reform, as well as discussion of the steps taken in many common law, civil law and mixed law jurisdictions. The book, written under the auspices of the Secured Transactions Law Reform Project, informs the debate about reform and advances novel arguments written by world renowned experts that will build upon the existing literature, and as such will be of interest to academics, legal practitioners and the judiciary involved in secured transactions law around the world. The text considers reform initiatives that have taken place up to the end of April 2016. It has not been possible to incorporate events since then into the discussion. However, notable developments include the banks decree passed by the Italian Government on 29th June 2016, and the adoption of the Model Law on Secured Transactions by UNCITRAL on 1st July 2016.

Download or read book Comparative Perspectives on the Chinese Civil Code written by Meiling Huang and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-05 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comparative analysis of Chinese property law as depicted in the newly enacted Chinese Civil Code. The Chinese Civil Code, the first civil code in the history of the People’s Republic of China, was enacted as law in May 2020. Reflecting the growing interest in this code and its provisions to scholars of codification and of comparative private law, it has already been translated into English, German, and Italian. Chinese property law has both local and global features, and this comparative study offers a channel through which to understand Chinese property law, by highlighting both its similarities and differences from other property systems. Broadly speaking, the book brings together two approaches. The first comprises a comprehensive discussion of aspects of Chinese property law, such as ownership, property rights, and secured transactions. The second consists of perspectives from other jurisdictions and provides an assessment of Chinese property law based on other property systems. Containing contributions by both distinguished and young scholars, who are experienced in comparative property law research, the book offers a unique insight into the Chinese Civil Code and, through it, how extra-civilian elements are embodied in a fundamentally civilian legal system. This book will appeal to scholars and students of property law, comparative law, and others with specific interests in law and politics in China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers an in-depth analysis of the current status of the law and legal practice of personal security rights in the EU.

While focusing on Italian and Spanish legal systems, this comparative study includes extensive references to other EU Member States. The influence of EU private law on this area is also explored.

In this context, specific reference is made to the latest academic works and policy proposals for EU legal unification ( Principles of European Contract Law / Draft Common Frame of Reference ).
Download or read book Property Law written by Yun-chien Chang and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book of its kind, Property Law: Comparative, Empirical, and Economic Analyses, uses a unique hand-coded data set on nearly 300 dimensions on the substance of property law in 156 jurisdictions to describe the convergence and divergence of key property doctrines around the world. This book quantitatively analyzes property institutions and uses machine learning methods to categorize jurisdictions into ten legal families, challenging the existing paradigms in economics and law. Using other cross-country data, the author empirically tests theories about property law and comparative law. Using economic efficiency as both a positive and a normative criterion, each chapter evaluates which jurisdictions have the most efficient property doctrines, concluding that the common law is not more efficient than the civil law. Unlike prior studies on empirical comparative law, this book provides detailed citations to laws in each jurisdiction. Data and documentation are publicly available on the author's website.

Download or read book Divergences of Property Law written by Ulrich Drobnig and published by sellier. european law publ.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is inspired by the comparative study published in The Interaction of Contract Law and Tort and Property Law in Europe (ISBN 3 935808 20 8-Cloth-$79.00-2004). Out of a transnational (comparative and EU-oriented) perspective, the essays included discuss whether divergences of property law on contractual security rights in movables constitute an obstacle to the internal market and, if so, what solutions could be offered. Unification or harmonization of private international law cannot offer an adequate solution, while unification of domestic security laws could. However, the latter will take a very long time, partly due to the specific nature of property law. The contributing authors advocate the development of a European Security Right in Movables (ESRM) in addition to the respective contemporary national security rights. A real ESRM would clearly support free competition within the European Union. However, the development of an ESRM will take much time, in particular when dealing with the relation between that ESRM and domestic security rights in the member states. The reader will also find considerations on the contents of an ESRM and on the outlines of the required additional provisions.
