...the volume is comprehensive and one that every banking lawyer should be pleased to have on his bookshelf. It offers a dependable source that scholars, practitioners and students can turn to for insight on the wide range of issues that banks may face. The tone is lucid and candid, with the occasional, welcome, wry comment ... Particular mention should be made of the welcome discussion on Islamic banking, which has been updated in the new edition with case and regulatory developments. In this division, Proctor gives a newcomer to the topic a helpful introduction to key concepts in Islamic law and then examines the various structures that have been developed to meet customers needs for finance and investment while remaining compliant with Islamic principles. Aside from the updated English case law, the discussion extends to an examination of the Islamic finance developments in Malaysia, a prominent Islamic finance jurisdiction. * Sandra Booysen, National University of Singapore. *
