I have created this page because it is vital to recognise that financial regulation is not the only method of setting out market practices and legal norms. The Financial Regulation page seemed to extensively cover the regulatory aspect of market practices in financial law, but did not adequately cover other aspects, primarily the market practices and the caselaw which pertains primarily to financial legal practice as distinct from commercial law overall. As a result, it seems best to use this page as a central hub for the overarching concepts which drive, regulate, and change financial law. Currently expansion will occur on the primarily legal concepts, this could further be linked into the commercial law sidebar if necessary. It ought to provide a coordinative page to help readers familiarise themselves with how financial law operates and as a map to the various other wiki sites which examine other areas in greater depth.BNClawyer32 (talk) 19:21, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Importance scale[edit]

Hello, Was wondering if anyone could clarify the determination of the importance scale is for this article when, for example, Derivatives law, a highly specific sub-group of financial law, is rated at high importance and contains less information than is outlined in the overview regarding the same topic? My next endeavour will be to expand the derivatives law topic but it might be easier to consolidate the two articles and redirect derivatives law to this article, which would provide a reader with greater detail to how derivatives law would interact with the overall market.
