This exciting book is an authoritative text on the complex law of personal property security and the registration of company charges. Personal property security is an important subject in commercial practice, as it is the key to much of the law of banking and sale. This work explains traditional methods of securing debts (such as mortgages, charges, and pledges) on property other than land, describes how these are created, how they must be registered (or otherwise "perfected") if they are to be valid, the rights and duties of the parties and how the security is enforced if the debt is not paid. The authors identify areas of uncertainty and give guidance to possible resolutions of any uncerta...
The purpose of this book is to honour the influential and wide-ranging work of Professor Hugh Beale. It contains essays by twenty-five very distinguished authors, each of whom has worked with Professor Beale as a co-author, as a teaching colleague, during his time as Law Commissioner of England and Wales, or as part of the study groups working in Europe on contract and commercial law. The essays reflect different aspects of Professor Beale's interests. Some concentrate on English contract law, either from a historical or a current perspective, while others are focused on aspects of European contract law. There are four essays looking at current issues relating to security and financing, and, as befits a former Law Commissioner, three essays on law reform. The essays in the final section discuss trends in transnational and European commercial law. This book brings together the reflections of eminent writers from all over Europe on important issues facing contract and commercial law and will be of interest to all scholars and practitioners working in these areas.
