The importance of the banking sector to the improvement of the economy can hardly be over-estimated. It is no surprise therefore that the government often attempt to involve itself in the banking system by making laws and creating incentives for the regulation of banks and banking relations, protection against risk and collapse, protection of customers’ deposits and promotion of healthy competition.
The business of banking touches all and sundry, one way or the other. Quite often, bank customers, and the general public that get pulled to relate with the banks in one form or the other, do get intrigued and confused to what their legal standing – what rights they have and what duties they owe. The lawyers that are most of the time resorted to for solutions to these challenges, either in Court Litigations or Settlement Negotiations, go seeking and searching for relevant legal rules and principles from scattered Sources of such materials.
The Helar Note on Banking Law has been put together to serve both the unlearned members of the general public, and especially practicing lawyers, as a digital Digest of Banking Law principles and rules so summarised and packaged to be a comprehensive Resource that has it all.
