Critical Acclaim
‘This book offers an excellent overview of how a security right can be established on continuously changing assets. It provides insights into the problems this presents from a more restricted approach to property rights. The topic is analysed across legal traditions, and the history of floating security rights is examined, with a broad global overview that includes Africa, China, Europe, and North America —an impressive work of global comparative property law analysis.’
