Details

The third edition of this invaluable guide covers the application and practice of the law of set-off in over 30 jurisdictions spanning Europe, Asia and the Americas.

Written by leading experts from around the word, each chapter explains the principles of the law of set-off in the jurisdiction concerned, and provides a comparative guide for banking and finance lawyers wishing to establish the pitfalls of set-off in a foreign jurisdiction.

For this new edition every chapter has been updated to contain new material specifically devoted to cross border aspects, including analysis of choice of law issues.

Fully updated legal analysis is also provided, with an emphasis on how set-off may be used as security and the application of insolvency set-off: taking into account new legal developments in the various jurisdictions and reflecting recent changes to legislation in the financial sector relating to bank and other financial firm resolution.

"A succinct and lucid survey of set-off and netting covering 35 key jurisdictions and written by outstanding practitioners. This excellent work has solutions to the crucial questions and is an outstanding contribution to the literature on this vital subject" - Phillip Wood, Allen and Overy LLP, London

"The editors can be congratulated on marshalling so many authoritative contributions into a coherent whole of considerable potential value to the international practitioner." - Francis Neate, Former partner of Slaughter and May and Former President of International Bar Association

"The editors can be congratulated on marshalling so many authoritative contributions into a coherant whole of considerable potential value to the international practitioner" - Francis Neate, Insolvency and Restructuring International

"To...practitioners this user-friendly volume, on a subject often considered arcane, is warmly commended. Tothose with academic concerns, there is much to be gained from the practical focus on the types of agreements to which practitioners regularly have to bring their knowledge of set-off...but which are not...much considered." - Ross Gilbert Anderson, The Edinburgh Law Review
