Each chapter in this book describes the law of a particular country in respect of the security devices available to banks to secure repayment of loans. Each national contribution discusses a broad range of issues, such as different types of security devices that may be used (e.g. pledge, mortgage, personal guarantee, and quasi-security devices such as letters of comfort), the way in which such devices are created, any further legal requirements that must be met in connection therewith, and the costs involved. Other topics of a more general nature include the recognition of security devices created under foreign law and other aspects of private international law, as well as the existence of uniform banking conditions applicable to the relationship between the banks in a particular country and their customers. The countries discussed include nearly all West European nations, a number of important East European countries, the countries of North America, certain South American and Far Eastern countries, and South Africa.
