... a substantial benefit to all who work with the commercial law of securities. ... this volume very usefully foregrounds practical issues as its subtitle promises, whole also fitting well within the best tradition of academic essay collections. The essays are quite timely but should also prove to be of enduring value, and of course this short review cannot do justice to the richness and complexity of the matters covered. Carl S. Bjerre Banking and Finance Law Review 27:4 The book highlights the critical importance of the intermediated securities law, the area of the law that supports the backbone of securities markets. Given the importance of the systems for the holding of securities and the absence of comparably high-quality resources o the subject, the book is essential reading for any person interested in the area of intermediated securities.
