Updates to the Law Relating to Financial Services book

The UK courts from time to time make decisions which establish important precedents. So legal texts can rapidly become out of date. However, this book "Law Relating to Financial Services" will, in conjunction with this web site, remain completely up to date. Updates to the book will be posted on this page to keep you fully in the picture with the current law in the UK for Financial Services.

The seventh adition has now been published. Updates will be placed here as necessary.

Current updates:
The Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS): Graham Roberts explains the enforcement of the Banking Code and the Business Banking Code. "An excellent guide to everyday banking law.  Concise yet comprehensive.  Frequent references to the banking code and the ombudsman make this book of great practical value to students, banks and their customers." Mike Reddy, formerly Deputy Banking Ombudsman.

This new edition includes full text and commentary on the 2008 Banking Code and Business Banking Code. It also covers important new cases such as Office of Fair Trading v Abbey National, dealing with the legitimacy of bank charges on personal accounts.
