Trends in Cryptocurrency Regulation and Disputes for 2019Even before December 2017 saw Bitcoin prices spike and peak at over $19,000 there had been increasing interest from customers, institutions and regulators in the crypto-asset space. We consider some of the actions taken by regulators over the past 12 months and look forward at their plans for 2019. We also look at some of the ways in which crypto-assets can give rise to disputes and how their structure and operation can raise particular issues where the virtual world of crypto-assets meets physical court systems.

Mortgage Fraud – Insights from the Data of Over 6,000 Recoveries CasesAn interactive discussion and presentation of a body of research into 500 mortgage frauds committed in the UK to analyse who is defrauding the banks and where and how they are doing it.

Its findings will be of interest to anyone crafting an underwriting policy, setting up a conveyancing panel, undertaking due diligence into a mortgage book, making recoveries on behalf of a lender or who needs an understanding of the nature of mortgage fraud in the UK.
