Reviews

"This is a refreshing and timely book on finance law, which has been written with students in mind. Its expert author employs various tools to assist understanding of a complicated area of law. He adopts an impressive multi-faceted approach incorporating theory, practice and doctrine (including private law underpinnings), with reference to domestic and international corporate finance spheres."

- Dr Alisdair MacPherson, University of Aberdeen, UK.

"Connelly's masterful exposition of the English private law principles that underpin financial transactions fills a genuine gap in the market. It is precise, theoretically informed and user-friendly, containing valuable pedagogic elements - most prominently, case studies, diagrams and extensive extracts from leading cases."

-Dr Andreas Kokkinis, Associate Professor, Birmingham Law School, UK.
