Banking law?

The course in Domestic and International Banking Law at City University is a two term course. In the first term students cover the contractual aspects of the banker-customer relationship including set-off and confidentiality. Regulatory aspects are important and the regulation of consumer credit, financial services and deposit taking are looked at. The FSMA 2000 makes this topic important and topical. The term concludes with a look at electronic banking and the protection of consumers under the UCTA and UCCTR.

The second term is a change of theme with International banking documentation the forefront of the course. Guarantees and Performance Bonds are considered. Lending and the standard contractual terms are discussed with emphasis on the clauses. This is extended into derivatives. The course concludes with a different form of financing, namely eurobonds and the eurobond market and the standard type terms included in a eurobond.
