The Financial Services Act is one of the most complicated and important pieces of legislation ever to affect business investment. Its impact will be felt by all those working in the financial services area.

The authors, a team of expert practitioners and leading academics, have adopted this approach throughout the book and have described not only the facts about the Act, but also how it is to be implemented. Together they have produced a unique, authoritative explanation of the Act.

Academics and students involved with commercial law will also find this book of great benefit.
