NOW IN A NEW EDITION FROM THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS: THE DEFINITIVE TITLE ON SECURED LENDING, SPECIFICALLY ON PERSONAL PROPERTY An appreciation by Elizabeth Robson Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers and Phillip Taylor MBE, Head of Chambers and Reviews Editor, âThe Barristerâ Corporate lawyers dealing with the myriad forms and ramifications of secured lending â on personal property specifically â will welcome this brand-new edition of this long-established, highly readable and famously authoritative legal text published recently by the Oxford University Press. The subject matter is vast and characterised by a multiplicity of finely nuanced details and distinctions. Fortunately for practitioners, lucid and precise commentary is provided on every pertinent aspect of this complex area of law, the scope and limits of which are carefully defined. As the authors explain, the remit of the book âis limited to security over personal propertyâ which can be understood as âall forms of property other than landâ. They are careful though, to refer to âthe difficulty of separating security over land and security over personal property.â Fundamentally, the book deals with security of loans, which, as is pointed out, âis an alternative to inviting investment from shareholders or partners who will become part owners of the business.â While company debtors are frequently referred to, transactions by non-corporate debtors are also covered â and insolvency of course, is examined in detail. âA systematic treatment of consumer credit,â say the authors, âis left to more specialist works.â Usefully for practitioners, the scope of this massive subject is summarized in the bookâs introductory section followed by six further sections which deal with, for example, description of interests, registration, priorities, enforcement and conflict of laws. As is the case with a number of law texts, the final section points up the need to consider reform: in this case the reform of particular aspects of law governing security over personal property. This and related issues are discussed with the clarity and thoroughness that typify this book. The wealth of new material contained in this volume of over 900 pages reflects the principal legislation and new cases that have emerged since the previous edition of 2012. All are helpfully listed in the preface. Also covered are two imminent reforms: The Goods Mortgages Bill⦠and the Business Contract Terms (Assignment of Receivables) Regulations 2018⦠and of course, much more. Then there is the matter of Brexit, about which the word âuncertaintyâ prominently looms. The authors state that they have prepared this current edition (and very current it is) on the basis of the UKâs current position as a member of the European Union and understandably demonstrate a certain reluctance to speculate on the possible effect of the UKâs withdrawal. Once assumes in anticipation and hope that the advent of âexit dayâ will necessitate another new edition of this distinguished legal text. For practitioners grappling with the intricacies of this area of law, it is an indispensable resource. The publication date is cited as at 8th March 2018
