Helene Lieser’s 1937 review of Robert Lisnik’s Das neue Depot-Gesetz assesses a practical guide to the revised German law governing the custody and acquisition of securities. Its starting point is the legislative transition:
An Stelle des deutschen Depotgesetzes von 1896 ist ab 1. Mai 1937 ein neues Depotgesetz getreten.
English translation: As of 1 May 1937, a new securities custody law replaced the German securities custody law of 1896.
Lieser praises the introduction’s clear presentation of the changes, then identifies the aids that make the legislation accessible:
Daneben sorgen Anmerkungen und ein Stichwortverzeichnis für leichtes Einarbeiten in den Gegenstand.
English translation: In addition, notes and a subject index make it easy to become acquainted with the subject.
The review’s evaluative criterion is practical usability: Lisnik’s organization helps readers navigate the new law. Lieser offers a concise recommendation without analyzing individual provisions or their consequences.
