Recenzje

'Sandra Booysen and Dora Neo have done a great service in bringing together an excellent collection on an issue central to banking and financial law. The book places the topic in its wider context of data protection and privacy protection. That is coupled with an examination of the international pressures on banks and jurisdictions to curb bank secrecy for reasons of public policy, notably to curb tax avoidance. With its up to date accounts of the laws in the leading financial centres the book will be an essential resource.' Honourable Justice Ross Cranston, Queen's Bench Division, High Court of Justice of England and Wales
