The Rosetta Stone of Banking Regulation: The Law of International Banking Institutions
No full textAlthough banking has gone global, banking regulation is still primarily local.

A failure to appreciate the differences between a bank chartered and regulated by the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency versus the Austrian Financial Market Authority can result in misunderstandings, lost business and perhaps civil or criminal liability

This provision is part of a long string of efforts by proponents of restrictive immigration policies to limit the jurisdiction of the federal courts over immigration cases
