Secured Transactions Conference

The reform of the English law of secured transactions continues to be the subject of extensive debate.  Most recent contributions to this discussion have been made by the Secured Transactions Law Reform Project and the Financial Law Committee of the City of London Law Society. From 2013, the Secured Transaction Law Reform Project has been publishing policy papers discussing possible ways to reform the law in this area. In July 2016, the Financial Law Committee of the City of London Law Society published a revised version of its Secured Transactions Code together with a Commentary .

The purpose of the Code and of the Project’s policy papers is to promote discussion of the best way in which the law of secured transactions should be reformed.  The purpose of the Conference is to continue that process by examining the key features of the Code in the light of the work done by the Project.

The Conference has been organised by the City of London Law Society, Nottingham Law School and the Centre for Commercial Law at University College London.  It will be held at the offices of Norton Rose Fulbright LLP, 3 More London Riverside, London SE1 2AQ on Tuesday 30 April 2019 from 9.30am until 5.30pm.

The Conference will be divided into four sessions:

0930 – 1100: Creation of Security

1130 – 1300: Registration of Security

1400 – 1530: Priority of Security

1600 – 1730: Enforcement of Security

The Conference will provide an opportunity for those interested in this area to discuss the provisions of the Code and to consider how they might be improved. The format will be a roundtable discussion. Places are limited and anyone interested in participating in this roundtable should write to Dr Magda Raczynska at magda.raczynska@ucl.ac.uk.
