Details

Fully revised and updated text and commentary on all EC legislation relating to Company and Financial Law
Includes case commentaries from European and national courts
Edited by leading experts in the field

As with previous editions, this fourth edition features the full text of every piece of adopted European legislation affecting companies and the financial sector, including directives, regulations, recommendations and other relevant instruments. It is divided into sections on banking law, capital movement, company law, consumer protection, enterprise law, insurance law, and securities regulation.

The purpose of this text is to offer an easily accessible, properly organised and updated collection of all European Instruments that have been enacted in the above fields. Both in legal practice and in academia the need often arises to consult European legislation with the knowledge that it is up-to-date and consolidated. The book includes section-by-section case commentaries on almost all of the relevant European Court of Justice cases and many rulings from national courts, thus providing a useful guide to interpretation of the various instruments.

Readership: Scholars and practitioners of EU law, banking, company and financial law, civil servants and regulators.

I: Banking Law
II: Capital Movement
III: Company Law
IV: Consumer Protection especially related to Financial Transactions

Edited by Klaus Hopt, Director, Max Planck Institute for Foreign Private and Private International Law, Hamburg, and Eddy Wymeersch, Professor of Commercial Law, University of Ghent, Belgium

"Strongly recommended to anyone interested in EU company and financial law. It offers a well-structured, almost complete compilation of the regulations as well as a comprehensive collection of case summaries. Any academic or practitioner will greatly benefit from this book" - European Business Organization Law Review (9)

"European Company and Financial Law is a comprehensive compilation of the relevant Community texts on banking law, capital movements, company law, consumer protections (related to financial transactions), enterprise law, insurance law and securities regulation. The texts are set under the respective areas they are set to cover, which gives the book much value...The addition of the judgements adds further value and will make the assessment and understanding easier by serving as explanation and clarification. For a practitioner this is also helpful in the understanding and assessment of the transformation to national legislation. It may well also serve a good purpose when establishing the possible deviations under national law s and directing the reader to solutions not always ready at hand. In summary the book is an excellent compilation of relevant texts in the areas covered..." - International Company and Commercial Law Review, Volume 19, Issue 10
