Banking Law is a field that brings together well-worn but often obscure law with modern technology and ongoing regulatory innovation. In this context, Dr Tyree's text gives an accessible and clearly presented account of the law of banking in Australia. The eighth edition updates this account including to address a number of major developments since the last edition, published in 2011, most notable being the 2013 Code of Banking Practice and the entry into force of the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth). While this latest edition has extended the text's discussion of the Australian banking regulatory system, its coverage of the law of cheques has been reduced to reflect that subject's reducing importance in modern banking practice.
