Description

The Law of Banking provides an introduction to aspects of the practice of banking and to relevant legal principle. Both traditional views and contemporary developments are adverted to. While the central focus is on the relation of banker (in legislation now authorised deposit-taking institution) and customer, not only the cheque but also a range of recently developed and developing banking instruments and processes are considered. Regulation and deregulation are discussed and in that context functionally related activities are traversed.

Note: This course may be studied on its own but students interested in a wider view of banking law should also enrol in LAWS2024 Commercial Finance.
