Banking Law in Scotland

"This title provides a comprehensive treatment of banking law and practice. It traces the development of banking in Scotland from the foundation of the Bank of Scotland in 1695 to the establishment of the Banking Ombudsman Scheme in the 1980s, the promulgation of the Good Banking Code in the 1990s and modern methods of money transmission. The emphasis throughout is practical, with copious reference to both primary and secondary sources and in-depth consideration of the specialities of the Scottish banking system."
