    I’ve been hearing since the end of last year that the bail in legislation that takes a percentage of depositors money to prop up failing banks rather than take money from taxpayers has been written into law across many western countries.

    Does anyone have details on this?

    Well, guess no one knows anything about bail ins....Job done for the legislaters if it's true

    It's something that will be hard to find laws on; I had a quick Google on the sites I frequent, and can't immediately find anything.

    It is almost a certainty though, that after the Cyrpus precedent, European countries will be facing bail-ins during the next crash.

    I didn't think it was at a national legislative stage yet (perhaps it doesn't need to if the European Council agree).
