Ellinger's Modern Banking Law sets banking law clearly against the background of general legal doctrines, discussing its operation in the context of its wider economic function. The book examines the broad spectrum of banking organizations in the UK, banker and customer relationships, and the various different types of loan and credit agreements in operation.
In light of recent developments the authors have updated areas in the fourth edition such as electronic banking and payment, consumer credit, securities and financial regulation. It also includes new chapters on money laundering and bank guarantees ensuring this text fully maps onto undergraduate law courses.
