Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Law - Civil / Private, Trade, Anti Trust Law, Business Law, grade: A-, University of Auckland, course: Corporate Governance, language: English, abstract: Since the financial crisis in 2008 there is no doubt about the fact that the evolving financial markets are essential for economic growth, employment and prosperity. Those markets serve as financing means for the business world and consumers benefit from the availability of a wide range of financial products and the additional advantages that those markets entail (higher pensions and lower mortgage costs). However, if those financial markets want to continue to contribute both to economy and society, the promotion of a good, integer and transparent functioning of those markets is essential. The proper functioning of the financial markets is largely dependent on the confidence of investors in those markets. The fact that investors ‘must be placed on an equal footing’ is the underlying principle on which this confidence is based. Market participants must be assured to always have access to a minimum set of information before making their investment decisions. In this context, transparency plays an important role. The price of a financial instrument is always the result of the available financial information. And to have proper price formation, it is essential that all the stakeholders have equal access to the relevant information as much as possible. A lot of regulations have already been introduced in this area. Yet, the effectiveness of those regulations can be questioned. For example, directors can make use of certain non-public information to trade in securities. They abuse their superior knowledge and consequently other investors regard this as unfair trading. Due to those unfair practices, other potential investors will turn their back to the financial markets. Insider trading is likely to undermine the investors’ confidence in the market and may jeopardise the proper functioning of the market. Therefore insider trading should be prohibited. But in most cases, law enforcement authorities face difficulties in proving the offenses. Hence, insider trading is a social evil and remains difficult to combat. This research essay will compare the current legislation on insider trading in New Zealand, Australia and the EU.This research essay will compare the current legislation on insider trading in New Zealand, Australia and the EU. In the end, it will be clear that the fundamental differences between the three jurisdictions remain off.

Download or read book Maritime Security written by Natalie Klein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-16 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maritime security is of vital importance to Australia and New Zealand as both countries depend on maritime transport for their economic survival. Since the events of September 11th 2001, significant questions have been raised as to whether Australia and New Zealand are adequately prepared for the consequences of a major disruption to global shipping following a terrorist attack on a leading regional port such as Hong Kong or Singapore. Considerable efforts have also been undertaken to improve responses to an array of maritime security threats, such as transnational crime, environmental pollution, and piracy and armed robbery. This volume identifies those issues that particularly affect Australia and New Zealand’s maritime security, evaluating the issues from legal and political perspectives, and proposes methods for improving maritime security in the two countries. While the focus is primarily on Australia and New Zealand, the scope extends to regional considerations, addressing matters related to Pacific Island states, Southeast Asia and the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic region. The book also addresses strategic partnerships examining the influence of the United States, and analyses issues within the broad framework of international law and politics. Maritime Security: International Law and Policy Perspectives from Australia and New Zealand will be of great interest to scholars of international law, international relations and maritime affairs, maritime industry professionals, private and government lawyers, as well as diplomats, consuls and government officials.

Download or read book Personal Property Securities Act written by Linda Widdup and published by . This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost ten years have elapsed since the revised edition of "PPSA a conceptual approach" was published. Both the first edition and the revised edition were published prior to the time the PPSA came into force in New Zealand in May 2002. As a result, the book does not include references to any New Zealand case law. Therefore, the primary purpose in writing a new edition is to include commentary and references to relevant New Zealand case law. In addition, the new edition will also include commentary and references to relevant Canadian case law that has arisen since 2002. A substantial body of case law has developed since 2002. Australia has also enacted a PPSA which is scheduled to come into force in early 2012. The new edition of the book will also include some reference to Australian legislation for comparative purposes and to the extent it contributes to the discussion on issues arising in New Zealand. In my view, an updated edition of the book will appeal to the New Zealand market as well as the Australian market (although please see the market research info at 11 below). This book's unique selling point is its conceptual approach rather than the section by section analysis and commentary which prevails in other publications dealing with the PPSA as a subject matter. The conceptual approach brings relevant issues together which is helpful. Several practitioners in Australia have commented that due to the conceptual approach, they recommend this book as the book to start with when learning about the changes brought by the PPSA. The structure of the current text is unlikely to change as the developments in the law will generally be accommodated within the existing chapters. However there are some emerging issues that might be dealt with better in separate chapters, so additional chapters may be included.
