Beschreibung:
Justin Monsenepwo analysiert kollisionsrechtlichen Fragen im Zusammenhang mit internationalen Wertpapiertransaktionen in den afrikanischen Staaten der OHADA Region. Schwerpunkte sind das Zusammenspiel kollisionsrechtlicher Vorschriften mit dem materiellen Recht und die Bewertung des Haager Übereinkommens über bestimmte Rechte in Bezug auf intermediärverwahrte Wertpapiere. Der Autor sucht nach einem angemessenen und kohärenten Ansatz, der die Realität des indirekten Beteiligungssystems in der OHADA-Region widerspiegelt.
In recent decades, the technical handling of custody business in the OHADA region has undergone a lasting change. There has been a shift from a direct to an indirect holding system, in which the interests of an investor in respect of the underlying securities are recorded in the books of an intermediary (such as a bank or a securities firm). Under the law of all states within the OHADA region, the traditional conflict of laws rule for determining the enforceability of a securities pledge that occurs in the indirect holding system is the lex rei sitae (or the lex cartae sitae or the lex situs ) rule. However, the traditional lex rei sitae rule cannot be appropriately applied to a system where the dematerialised securities are held through multiple layers of intermediaries located in different jurisdictions. Yet, until the intermediated system and the collateralisation of intermediated securities in the OHADA region will continue to operate in somewhat legally murky waters, leading to more instability in the financial markets. Therefore, Justin Monsenepwoaims to find an appropriate and consistent approach that reflects the reality of the indirect holding system in the OHADA region.
