Publisher's Synopsis
Liens are encountered in virtually all commercial transactions, from the sale of goods, the construction of buildings and the maintenance of motor vehicles to project, aircraft and infrastructure finance and commercial trusts.
This unique book provides a comprehensive examination of common law, equitable, statutory and contractual liens, and also discusses the contemporary commercial and financing transactions in which liens are encountered, with particular attention to real-life examples such as high-value financing of infrastructure, plant and equipment such as aircraft, railway rolling stock and motor vehicle fleets.
Liens are and will remain the subject of renewed interest, in the light of recent reforms to the security interests regime proposed by the UK Law Commission and the UNIDROIT Convention on International Interests in Mobile Equipment. This volume will be a necessary addition to the library of any banking and finance, insolvency, commercial or company lawyer and will be a real asset to students and researchers working in similar areas.
