This chapter revisits the banker–customer relationship. The contractual nature of the relationship considered in Chapter 15 assumed that the bank was established in England and that its customer was also resident in the same country. However, that analysis is by no means of universal. Multinational companies, for instance, may need to have bank accounts in a number of different countries; wealthy individuals may opt to maintain accounts with banks in more advanced jurisdictions to gain access to portfolio management or other services. Banks may promote their services to overseas customers and wish to take security over assets situate outside England. How do these affect the legal nature of the banker–customer relationship? The chapter discusses the governing law of the banker–customer relationship; the effect and consequences of the applicable law; the law governing capacity and authority; and the situs of deposit obligations.

Cooperation between intelligence oversight bodies has long been suggested as one of the means to keep the cross-border fight against terrorism in check. This article maps the incentives given to cooperation between oversight bodies, and evaluates the response to these appeals for cooperation by national legislators and the oversight community itself. This account shows that the level of cooperation between oversight bodies remains very limited. In practice several obstacles of a practical and legal nature exist that prevent further cooperation. Nevertheless, the article shows that even within the current legal framework there are several important fields in which the oversight community may still develop its cooperation. This will positively contribute to the quality and acceptance of oversight.

In post-Socialist countries, cross-border labour migration has become a common individual and family livelihood strategy. The paper is based on the analysis of semi-structured interviews conducted with two ethnic Hungarian women whose lives have been significantly reshaped by cross-border migration. Focusing on the interplay of gender and cross-border migration, our aim is to reveal how gender roles and boundaries are reinforced and repositioned by labour migration in the post-socialist context where both the socialist dual-earner model and conventional ideas of family and gender roles simultaneously prevail. We found that cross-border migration challenged these women to pursue diverse strategies to balance their roles of breadwinner, wife, and mother responsible for reproductive work. Nevertheless, the boundaries between female and male work or status were neither discursively nor in practice transgressed. Thus, the effect of cross-border migration on altering gender boundaries in post-socialist peripheries is limited.
