Market Abuse and Insider Dealing (Hardcover, 4th edition): Barry Rider, Kern Alexander, Stuart Bazley, Jeffrey Bryant Market Abuse and Insider Dealing (Hardcover, 4th edition)
Barry Rider, Kern Alexander, Stuart Bazley, Jeffrey Bryant
R5,272 Discovery Miles 52 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Market abuse and insider dealing remains and always has been a real concern for all those that operate in the financial sector. Some of the earliest laws relating to trade outlaw attempts to artificially interfere with the proper functions of the markets and ensure fairness. With recent changes to both the UK and European regimes the line between what is normal (and sensible) business practice and what may now be classified as market abuse is becoming increasingly fine. This raises questions about communications between financial institutions and investors, and about corporate and analyst access. Market Abuse and Insider Dealing provides guidance on and explanation of the range of potential legal and regulatory responses to this complex area of law. Providing a thorough analysis and assessment of the law relating to market abuse and insider dealing, the new fourth edition includes: - analysis of the impact of Brexit - significant new case law and legislation including MiFID II; Money Laundering Regulations 2017; the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017; Criminal Finances Act 2017 with Unexplained Wealth Orders; The Fifth Money Laundering Directive - the new Corporate Governance Code - new content on: control and senior managers' responsibility/liability; the FCAs competition law jurisdiction where it is appropriate to do so in relation to market abuse; a new table of UK decided market abuse cases

Beyond Bad Apples - Risk Culture in Business (Paperback): Michelle Tuveson, Daniel Ralph, Kern Alexander Beyond Bad Apples - Risk Culture in Business (Paperback)
Michelle Tuveson, Daniel Ralph, Kern Alexander
R900 R850 Discovery Miles 8 500 Save R50 (6%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The one bad apple spoiling the whole barrel has become a common metaphor used with reference to risk culture in organisations. This "inside-out" perspective begins with the individual as the unit of analysis and follows with inferences to the broader environment. Since the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008, risk culture for many has become the explanation for shortcomings, poor decisions, and moral failures in organisations. This volume presents an institutional perspective of the forces that shape risk culture, and culture more generally, in organisations through a multi-disciplinary examination from a variety of leading academics and subject specialists. The authors demonstrate that firms play a role as manufacturers and managers of risk and they challenge common conceptions that attribute risk to chance circumstances or rogue behaviours. The foundational concepts needed for an institutional view of risk culture are highlighted with subsequent links to significant developments within society and firms.

Kern Alexander, Catherine Barnard, Eilis Ferran, Andrew Lang, Niamh Moloney
R2,575 Discovery Miles 25 750 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This timely book examines the legal and regulatory implications of Brexit for financial services. The UK's withdrawal from the EU is likely to have significant market, political, and policy consequences for the UK financial system, for the single market and the euro area, and for the international financial system. As the UK disentangles its financial system from the EU, law will matter to a profound extent. Treaties, legislation, and regulation, at UK, EU, and international levels, and the many dynamics and interests which drive them, will frame and shape the ultimate settlement between the UK and the EU. Law will also shape how the EU financial system develops post-Brexit and how the international financial system responds. Written by leading authorities in the field, this book addresses and contextualises the legal, regulatory, and policy issues across five dimensions, which correspond to the major legal spheres engaged: financial regulation implications and market access consequences for the UK financial system; labour law and free movement consequences for the UK financial system; the implications internally for EU financial governance and the euro area; the implications and relevance of the EEA/EFTA financial services market; and the trade law and World Trade Organization law implications.

Types of Courses This book is designed for graduate courses titled Law and Education, Higher Education Law, University Law, College Law, and/or Legal Aspects of Education, in graduate programs in Colleges of Education and elective courses in Law Schools. Description The presentation in the book, a combination textbook/casebook, gives a complete overview of higher education law; covering common law, constitutional law, and interpretations of statute at state and federal levels. The content defines the legal rights and responsibilities in colleges and universities. Organization Each chapter begins with an overview of the legal issues followed by detailed explanations of legal precedents and the prevailing rule of law. Features The "text-case" method allows instructors to analyze issues and relate court decisions to operations of colleges and universities. Students are given the legal bases that relate factual situations while recognizing similar experiences they may have as practicing university faculty members or administrators. Rules of law are explained in narrative form enabling law students and graduate education students to grasp the essence of legal precedents as background for reading and understanding judicial opinions. Judicial opinions are carefully edited to weed out extraneous legal jargon, and to pinpoint the dispute at hand. Case briefs are provided at the end of court decisions that refine points of law addressed in other litigation. The authors' comprehensive approach gives law students and graduate education students an overall view of the law. The text in each subject matter area opens with a historical legal perspective that captures the current roles of federal and state governments in higher education. Different areas of law (common law, statutes, constitutional law) are woven together throughout the text. This manner of presentation helps reduce legal complexities to a level easily understood by law students and graduate school students. Summaries of Case Law Each chapter provides the student with comprehensive summaries and explanations of judicial rationale of court decisions in key cases. Pedagogy Edited cases are integrated into each chapter. Cases focus on the legal precedents and eliminate unnecessary judicial and procedural matters. Most cases are brief, saving students and teachers time by identifying relevant factors and court holdings. Case Notes Case notes for court decisions from other jurisdictions are presented following each case to provide additional insights into various legal issues as expounded by other courts. "Case notes" supplement each case to add perspective and analysis for each topic. Legal Research Sources Each chapter is accompanied by reference to legal research resources including law reviews and journals, legal encyclopedias, restatements of law, digests, reports, and online resources.

The administration of public schools encompasses myriad generic issues having to do with curriculum content, instructional methodology, human resource and financial management, and of course, the guidance and counseling of students. Woven into this tapestry is the obligation to individualize educational programs to accommodate the needs of a wide and diverse student population. The needs of children may be categorized by economic, social, ethnic, physical and mental differences unique to each child and family. It is incumbent upon the public school to accommodate these differences with specially designed educational programs and to remediate any effects that may be detrimental to learning. Prominent and unique among such programs is special education, for which the program of learning is usually separately funded at both federal and state levels, but even more importantly, the learning regimen is individually calibrated to address the needs of each child determined to have a disability. Indeed, assuring children with disabilities their statutory rights constitutes a substantial segment of public school administration in the United States today. The various ramifications of the educational needs of children with disabilities and their attendant circumstances are so extensive that one book on the subject cannot be sufficient to address the magnitude and broad scope of the field. However, in this book we have attempted to discuss several of the salient issues that are of prominent concern to both school administrators and teachers.

The book proceeds from the broad consideration of rights and costs to more specific issues regarding the categorization of children and thedisproportionality of the various racial and ethnic groups of children who may be improperly designated as disabled. Within the context of such classifications the book discusses the screening strategies on which the rights of children with disabilities are so delicately balanced. To inappropriately classify a child may result in a form of subtle discrimination or denial of a statutory right to the provision of a particular type of educational instruction or accommodation. As is indicated throughout this book, the assessment methods by which a child's free appropriate education is determined have become a science of considerable importance.

Incident to this necessity of precise assessment is the need for risk screening strategies and protocols to identify symptoms, behaviors and indications of learning disabilities requiring particular and specialized educational redress. Among issues of greatest importance is the determination not to exclude children with disabilities from the regular classroom and the mainstream of learning. Inclusion or mainstreaming is among the most contentious and perplexing issues confronting school administrators. What constitutes the legal requirements and the educational considerations of the least-restrictive environment comes directly into play in provision of an appropriate education. Beyond the all-important inclusion issue, other chapters of this book address problems of cultural and social mores that affect children with disabilities, symptoms of depression in parents of children with disabilities, maltreatment of children with disabilities, and symptoms of children who have suffered post-traumatic stress from catastrophic events in their ownlives. Each chapter suggests measures to be taken by educators in identifying and redressing such matters. Policy implications for the enhancement of the effectiveness of special education programs are identified for the school administrator to consider.
