This joint 3CL/CPLC Webinar: ‘Pits, Ploughs and Plant – The Contribution of the Pretoria Protocol to the money management of Equipment in Developing Countries’ was presented by Professor Louise Gullifer, and delivered by Professor Sir Roy Goode (University of Oxford).
Abstract: The Cape Town Convention and its associated Protocols, in prescribing uniform substantive law rules governing the secured financing of aircraft objects, railway rolling stock, space resources and, under the Pretoria Protocol, mining, agricultural and construction equipment, by providing greater security to creditors, facilitate access to loan and reduce borrowing costs, particularly in developing countries, where, for example, lack of funds to buy tractors has meant that much farming has to be done manually. This lecture will examine key provisions.
