Hunting the Last Great Pirate
A true, century-spanning saga of terror at sea, a dramatic trial, and a mystery at long last solved . . . In 1827 the Duke of Wellington—former Commander-in-Chief of the British Army and British Prime Minister—ordered the withdrawal of British soldiers from the island of Ceylon after years of bloody conflict there. English cargo vessels, including the unarmed English Quaker ship Morning Star, were dispatched to sail to Colombo to repatriate wounded British soldiers and a cargo of sealed crates containing captured treasure. By January 1828, Morning Star was anchored at Table Bay, Cape Town, before joining an armed British convoy of East Indiamen heading north. Heavily laden, she struggled to keep up with the ships ahead. But a heavily armed pirate ship and its master, the notorious Benito de Soto, were lying in wait off Ascension Island in the mid-Atlantic to pick off stragglers from passing convoys. This book tells the full story of how Morning Star was easily overhauled by the pirate and stopped with cannon fire, the bloody events that followed, the long quest to hold de Soto to account—and the remarkable discovery that was made nearly a century later.
Neate and Godfrey
Neate and Godfrey: Bank Confidentiality deals with the topical subject of the duties or obligations of confidentiality or secrecy which banks owe to their customers in 37 countries around the world. The ways in which banks may be obliged to disclose information in court proceedings or to assist the authorities in combating money laundering or the funding of terrorism and wider international anti-money laundering initiatives are also considered. Since the financial crisis in some jurisdictions, politicians have been increasingly keen to reduce levels of bank secrecy. Conversely there is also pressure to protect customers' information and prevent identity theft.Each chapter sets out the basic rules of confidentiality - the nature, extent and source of those rules - and examines their civil and criminal nature, the remedies available for breach of those obligations and the extent to which conflicts of interest arise and how data protection legislation operates in relevant jurisdictions. Each contributor then analyses these issues in the light of statutory and non-statutory frameworks of civil and criminal law in their jurisdiction.

Tort Law in Hong Kong
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this book provides ready access to how the legal dimension of prevention against harm and loss allocation is treated in Hong Kong. This traditional branch of law not only tackles questions which concern every lawyer, whatever his legal expertise, but also concerns each person’s most fundamental rights on a worldwide scale. Following a general introduction that probes the distinction between tort and crime and the relationship between tort and contract, the monograph describes how the concepts of fault and unlawfulness, and of duty of care and negligence, are dealt with in both the legislature and the courts. The bo...
