Lender Liability - Fifth Edition is
the leading one-volume work on the subject. This area of the law has
grown and matured significantly over the years and is now recognized as a
distinct body of law that is the basis of thousands of lawsuits filed
over the last decade. Written for both lenders' and borrowers'
attorneys, Lender Liability discusses the basics and more advanced
issues relating to lender liability. Topics include 1) an extended analysis of where and how lender liability problems arise, 2) common law and statutory theories of liability, 3) bankruptcy concerns and 4) lawsuits
against failing or failed financial institutions. A sample complaint,
request for production of documents, interrogatories and jury
instructions are included on CD for easy use. The work also includes as
well tables of state and federal cases and statutes, rules and
regulations.
This brand new edition has been completely revised, reorganized and
updated. It conforms now to the evolution and maturity of Lender
Liability as an accepted, cited and well litigated area of commercial
and consumer litigation. "Lender Liability" as a body of law has
evolved from traditional contract and tort theories, to include causes
of action based in the Uniform Commercial Code; including the covenant
of good faith and fair dealing.
This handy reference work is ideal for either the experienced
practitioner or the neophyte involved in representing an institution or
client whose interests involve bank liability.
