On 31st December Sweet & Maxwell published the 7th edition of 
Goode and Gullifer on Legal Problems of Credit and Security edited by Professor Louise Gullifer.
Goode and Gullifer on Legal Problems of Credit and Security clearly explains the fundamental concepts of common law and equity as they affect secured transactions. It provides a thorough explanation of the law of credit and security, enabling the reader to understand how the underlying principles apply to different transactions.
Edited by Professor Louise Gullifer, this book defines how security can be relied upon as part of a credit agreement and explains key concepts such as attachment, set-off, fixed and floating charges and financial collateral. It provides deep analysis of the legal principles where the law is unclear and includes case law and legislative developments, as well as international conventions and European Community Directives.
New for this edition:
- New sections on the law relating to digital assets, including cryptocurrencies and tokenised securities
- Discussion of digital assets (and electronic trade documents) as the objects of security interests
- The inclusion of new case law and thinking relating to set-offs, the attachment of security interests and the ability of the equitable mortgagor of receivables to sue the account debtor
- Updates relating to the exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union
