The Blackstone's Guide Series delivers concise and accessible books
covering the latest legislative changes and amendments. Published
soon after enactment, they offer expert commentary by leading names
on the extent, scope, and effects of the legislation, plus a full
copy of the Act itself. They offer a cost-effective solution to key
information needs and are the perfect companion for any
practitioner needing to get up to speed with the latest changes.
The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 was the most important
piece of legislation in the financial services area for many years.
It made a number of important changes, including overhauling and
unifying the arrangement for oversight of banking, insurance and
other investment services; introducing new sanctions to restrain
abuse of financial markets; establishing the Financial Services
Authority as regulator of the UK's financial services industry;
creating a statutory Financial Ombudsman Service to enable
financial disputes to be resolved quickly and informally;
establishing the Financial Services and Markets Tribunal; and
creating a Financial Services Compensation Scheme to unify the
arrangements for depositor and policyholder protection and investor
compensation. Since the publication of the first edition in 2001,
statutory amendments have been required to implement a number of
important EU directives, such as The Prospectus Directive, the
Market Abuse Directive, the Transparency Directive and the Markets
in Financial Instruments Directive. There has also been amendment
for domestic purposes, e.g. in the field of consumer credit. The
new edition will cover these updates and will also give an account
of what has been happening in the policy fields beneath the level
of the Act itself.
The new edition of this Blackstone's Guide combines the full text
of the Act with an expert narrative. It seeks to explain the scope
and impact of the Act, and bring practitioners right up-to-date
with this complex piece of drafting. Developments in UK financial
services regulation are taken into account where relevant in
response to the global financial upheaval of 2007-9. Presented in a
straightforward layout, the book enables ease of use as a reference
source.
