Significant changes have been proposed and in some cases implemented in areas such as the structure of regulation, the organisation of markets, supervision of market participants and the protection of consumers. The second edition takes account of these developments, integrating them into an analytical framework that enables the reader to develop a critical overview of the role of general legal rules and specialised systems of regulation in financial investment. The framework focuses on the role of contract, trusts and regulation as the primary legal influences for financial investment. The first part explores the relationship between investment, law and regulation. The second part examines the nature of investments and investors, both professional and private. The third part discusses the central role of corporate finance and corporate governance in linking investors with enterprises that require external capital. The fourth part examines the nature, operation and regulation of markets and the participants that support the functioning of the markets. The objective remains to provide a broadly-based and critical account of the role of law in financial investment. Iain G MacNeil is the Alexander Stone Professor of Commercial Law at the University of Glasgow.

    Institute of European and Comparative Law Annual Report for 2014-2015 For further information please contact: The Administrator Institute of European and Comparative Law St Cross Building St Cross Road Oxford OX1 3UL [email protected] www.iecl.ox.ac.uk Introduction The academic year 2014-15 culminated with the Institute’s anniversary celebrations in late September. From its modest beginnings in 1995 the Institute has seen continuous growth over the past decades. It has established and nurtured numerous links with our continental partners, with regard to both teaching and research. Today, the Institute facilitates many of the Faculty’s research activities in European and comparative law, inter alia by organising the relevant lunchtime Discussion Groups and a raft of international conferences. Its particular focus is on the intersection of European and comparative law. This is particularly visible in the Institute’s book series published by Hart Publishing, the Studies of the Oxford Institute of European and Comparative Law, which will see the publication of its 20th volume later this year. A flavour of the topics that are on our research agenda is conveyed by the list of our most important events during the past academic year on p.28 below. The Institute promotes the Faculty’s teaching agenda by administering its undergraduate exchange programme, the largest of its kind in this country. The ‘Law with Law Studies in Europe’ degree (informally known as ‘Course 2’) sees 35 of our BA students take their third year away from Oxford, spending it at one of our European partner faculties in France, Germany, Italy, Spain or The Netherlands.

It is my privilege, together with the Hart and the wider Bloomsbury team, to take the list forward and build on his rich legacy. I am very grateful for the warm and generous welcome which has been extended to me by Hart authors and I very much look forward to working with you in the future. Hart authors’ great tradition of prize winning scholarship continued unabated in 2014. In particular, I am delighted to congratulate James Goudkamp, author of Tort Law Defences and Jure Vidmar, author of Democratic Statehood in International Law who were awarded the 2014 SLS Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship (Joint Second Prize).

This letter is not intended to provide an obstacle to, the hinderance of, or delay in approving or effecting, the Proposed Scheme or the Restructuring.

  • Law in Politics, Politics in Law
    LAW IN POLITICS, POLITICS IN LAW A great deal has been written on the relationship between politics and law. Legislation, as a source of law, is often highly political, and is the product of a process or the creation of officials often closely bound into party politics. Legislation is also one of the exclusive pow- ers of the state. As such, legislation is plainly both practical and inevitably political; at the same time most understandings of the relationship between law and politics have been overwhelmingly theoretical. In this light, public law is often seen as part of the political order or as inescapably partisan. We know relatively little about the real impact of law on politicians through their legal advisers and civil servants. How do lawyers in government see their roles and what use do they make of law? How does politics actually affect the drafting of legislation or the making of policy? This volume will begin to answer these and other questions about the practical, day-to- day relationship between law and politics in a number of settings. It includes chapters by former departmental legal advisers, drafters of legislation, law reformers, judges and aca- demics, who focus on what actually happens when law meets politics in government.
