“This new edition provides a valuable and up-to-date resource for all those concerned with the law as it affects banks and their customers… By the time that Paget reached its eighth edition in 1973, Lord Chorley QC could say that it ‘is now generally accepted as the authoritative practitioner’s textbook on its subject’. This new edition well retains that pre-eminent status.”
Richard Salter KC, New Law Journal
