Oliver Brand informs the reader about the approach taken in English law towards interest and usury in a cross-border context. Recent influences and developments triggered by Britain's membership in the E.C. as well as the fraying of the transatlantic ties between Britain and the U.S. highlight an area of law which has been a source of controversy for decades. The author suggests ways to reconcile conflicting authorities on issues such as the proper characterization of interest on damages in a Pan-European context.
The purpose of this volume is to inform the reader about the approach taken in English law towards interest and usury in a cross-border context. Recent influences and developments triggered by Britain's membership in the E.C. as well as the fraying of the transatlantic ties between Britain and the U.S. highlight an area of law which has been a source of controversy for decades. Oliver Brand suggests ways to reconcile conflicting authorities on issues such as the proper characterization of interest on damages in a Pan-European context. The author uses significant court decisions to illustrate this branch of the law, and also takes recent E.C. and U.K. legislation into consideration.
