Dear Grant, At the moment, legislation is made by governments under the control of banks. Bank customers' rights are no different to all our rights formulated by common law as well as statute law which meets the standard of due process, ie: is to the benefit of the community. An example of a good statute would be the "Act concerning monopolies... 1623" which says that interest rates must not exceed 8% under penalty of imprisonment and fine. An example of a bad statute would be the Consumer Credit Acts from 1981 which allow the terms of a contract to be varied without the consent of the borrower. The banks, governments and judges do not want you to know your rights. When you compile your list of good laws, please let me know. John Wilson. -----Original Message----- From: Grant Callaghan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Tuesday, 19 September 2000 14:30 Subject: banking law >To whom it may concern, > >I am very interested in finding additional resources >that concern banking laws.
