The Edinburgh Centre for Private Law (ECPL), founded in 2009, exists to foster and develop this long tradition of private law scholarship. Building on Edinburgh’s position as a major university within Europe’s main mixed jurisdiction, much of the research carried out by its members examines Scots law in a European context or fosters a dialogue between the civilian tradition and the common law.
This book provides the first sustained analysis of how common law and mixed legal systems would accommodate cryptoassets in their law of property, and how the conflict of laws might characterise assets on a distributed ledger system.
