Since the last edition of this book in 1998, there have been a number of judgements delivered by the Court of Final Appeal in relation to the Basic law. This edition attempts to include those important decisions, thus making the Chapters on Basic Law more complete.
The book is written for those who wish to obtain a basic understanding of the principles of the legal framework in Hong Kong. It is the basic textbook for members of the Institute who are preparing for the Law paper of the Banking Certificate Examination and the Intermediate Stage of the Financial English Certificate Examination (an examination jointly offered by the Institute and the Association of Chinese Financial Staff Education (ACFSE) in China.) It also serves as a good background reading for those who attempt the "Law Relating to Banking" paper but do not have a law background. In this new edition, you will find in-depth coverage of the following areas (including past examination questions and answers):
- Hong Kong Law: Nature and Sources
- The Constitution and the Courts of Hong Kong
- Law of Persons
- The Law of Contract
- The Law of Tort
- The Law of Property
- The Law of Trusts
- Law of Succession
- Negotiability and Bills of Exchange
- Cheques and Promissory Notes
Some students may find the previous editions difficult to understand and follow. For this reason, the authors, in this new edition, have used a simple and easy-to-follow style of writing to explain the difficult and complicated legal principles and that the chapters on Nature of Law, Hong Kong Constitution Law and Law of Succession have been revised substantially.

There have been a lot of developments in the banking industry in Hong Kong in the last decade. Banking practices are becoming more complex as a result of the provision of many innovative banking products for retail customers. To remain competitive, bankers must keep abreast of the latest development in law and practices relating to the banking industry. Striving to maintain quality in banking education, we saw the need to publish this new series of “Hong Kong Banking Law and Practice” for bankers and candidates of the Associateship examinations.
The subjects “Law Relating to Banking” and “Banking Practice in Hong Kong” are often regarded as the most challenging subjects involving difficult concepts, principles and practical banking knowledge. The author, Mr Simon Chan, with over 10 years of banking experience and now a practising lawyer, is particularly aware of the needs and interests of candidates and practising lawyers. With this primary consideration in mind, the book is written with examples and illustrations to explain relevant points. While considering the substantive law, the author also discusses important guidelines, codes of practice, reports and Commonwealth aspects.

This title carries on the "story" beyond the discussion in the Institute's previous publication "Monetary and Financial System in Hong Kong". The discussion includes, among other things, the measures taken by the SAR Government to combat the currency and stock and effect of the Asian financial turmoil on the Hong Kong banks, economy, stock and future markets; the nature and power of hedge funds; criticism of the role of International Monetary Fund in relation to developing economics and of the G-7 governments for reluctance to regulate the destructive activities of hedge funds. The monograph ends with an account of the possible opportunities and risks to Hong Kong businesses from the advent of the euro, the single currency of the European Monetary System

The contents of the second edition have been restructured and improved. Out-dated topics have been removed while other topics have been updated and expanded. New popular investments like equity-linked notes (ELNs) and hedge funds are covered. It also provides an in-depth discussion of the SFC's recent issuance of a consultation paper on the regulatory framework for addressing analyst conflicts and the ensuing controversy. The effect the Enron debacle and similar scandals have had on investors and their trust in accountants, analysts and regulators is also discussed. Corporate governance and sustainability and responsibility investment (SRI) are also examined.
Despite the above changes, this edition retains its combination approach hoping to interest and benefit both candidates sitting the 'Investments Paper' of the Institute's Associateship examination and practitioners in the securities industry.
