Electronic transfers
Article Abstract:
Banking laws in the UK have not kept pace with technological advances in electronic banking. The terms of contracts issued to ATM users by banks do not provide the same protection as the bank-customer contract that applies to funds that are transferred by check. In the event that a customer's cash card is used without the customer's knowledge or consent, the customer's account will still be debited, even if the customer was the victim of fraud. The forms of redress available to the customer in the event of the unauthorized use of a card are: have the bank investigate the matter, contact the banking ombudsman, or sue the bank, although the customer would have to show that the terms of the cash card contract were unreasonable. Legislation should be passed which limits the customer's liability for unauthorized transfers in certain circumstances.

Law examinations: Do you know how to prepare?
Article Abstract:
The PE I and Graduate Conversion examinations in the field of law for British law students are designed to test the applicant's ability to formulate accurate summary statements of British laws and are not concerned with general knowledge of the law or its practice; consequently, students interested in certification should review their law texts and course studies a minimum of five or six times prior to sitting for the exam. Students should commit to memory the names and circumstances of major court cases in Britain. Also, students should realize that for several questions on the exam, there is no single correct answer since credit is given according to the cases cited relevant to the question and the accuracy with which the students describe these cases.
