The first text of its kind, essential for professionals in the structured finance market. At the heart of many structured finance transactions is some form of transfer of assets - usually a sale. The confirmation that a sale will be effective as such (and will not have another effect) is crucial in a number of commercial transactions. This book seeks to analyse an area of law that is of great practical importance but which has been largely left untouched by academics and market commentators.
