Introduction
About FINANCE AND FINANCIAL LAW
There has been only limited discussion of the meaning and importance of financial law as a distinct legal or academic subject of examination despite the importance of financial markets and financial services in modern business and commercial relations. It is the opinion of the writer that this subject should be given separate and independent study at this time.
Financial law itself involves a number of separate but interrelated ideas and concepts which include finance, markets, money, payment and instruments or claims. While many of these have been studied or considered in their own terms, they have not been drawn together into any single complete or coherent examination or analysis. This also involves a number of separate areas of law (including specifically property, obligations, tort and restitution) which makes any examination from a single legal perspective more difficult. The subject also includes national or domestic as well as regional (and principally European) as well as international and comparative aspects and issues.
