It is now lost in the mists of time, but once upon a time there must have been a reason why the international capital markets was so collectively hostile to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999

where it might be interesting:

  • Secure Capital v Credit Suisse [2017] EWCA Civ 1486: A bearer security held as a global note by a common depositary on behalf of clearing systems which has a CRTPA provision excludes the right of the end noteholder (in the clearing systems) to sue the issuer.
