Abstract

This book examines property issues in respect of intermediated securities under English law, namely title and title conflicts between a true owner and a purchaser. Intangible book entry securities held with an intermediary, often commingled with the holdings of other clients of the intermediary, often give rise to uncertainty in property rights in the securities of an investor under most legal systems, for example, whether property rights can be established and how title conflicts are dealt with. - - This book identifies the flexible framework of English property law for establishing property rights over commingled intangibles, in particular through trusts; establishes the policy of priority rules as of comparing the merits of rights and preferring a vested right of a true owner over a subsequent purchaser, particularly a vested right under fiduciary relations. The book works towards the conclusion that, given the general principle of English property law for vested rights, title conflicts may be tilted towards purchasers in a mild rather than a radical way, by introducing a good faith purchaser rule to intermediated securities or leaving it to judicial discretion where an estoppel might work in favour of a purchaser. - - This book is suitable for lawyers, officials and academics in the field of intermediated securities, as well as trust, property and financial regulation. -

Abstract

In today's financial markets, investors no longer hold securities physically. Instead, securities such as shares or bonds are mostly held through intermediaries and transferred by way of book-entries on securities accounts. However, there are remarkable conceptual differences between the various jurisdictions with regard to the legal treatment of intermediated securities. It is widely agreed that this patchwork creates considerable legal risks, especially in cross-border situations. Two initiatives are in place to reduce these risks. In 2009, the UNIDROIT Convention on Substantive Rules for Intermediated Securities (the 'Geneva Securities Convention') was adopted, aimed at harmonisation on the international level. The EU Commission is also running a legislative project, to achieve harmonisation at the regional level. This book compares both initiatives and analyses their impact on the securities laws of selected European jurisdictions.

Abstract

Adoptée à Genève le 9 octobre 2009, la Convention d'Unidroit sur les règles matérielles relatives aux titres intermédiés est un instrument international visant à améliorer le cadre juridique pour la détention et le transfert ainsi que la constitution de garanties sur des titres détenus auprès d'intermédiaires. La "Convention de Genève sur les titres" (c'est son titre abrégé officiel) contribue ainsi à renforcer la solidité des marchés financiers nationaux et leur compatibilité transfrontalière. Cet ouvrage en est le commentaire officiel. Il a été préparé conformément aux résolutions de la conférence diplomatique et il est destiné à faciliter le travail de celles et ceux qui seront appelés à mettre en oeuvre cet instrument.
