Online Rulebook

Rulebook

The LME Rulebook is a key part of the exchange's rules and regulations. Together with notices issued by the exchange the rulebook governs the operation of the exchange and its member firms.

The rulebook is available in two ways:

Hard copy from the LME

Supplied in a four-ring binder for £40.00 (plus postage and packaging). The price includes one year's worth of updates in Adobe Acrobat format (PDF).

Online via Lexis Nexis

This service provides the full version LME rulebook, which will be updated quarterly in line with the printed version.  It is possible to search the whole rulebook, all current or archived notices, or just within selected areas of the database.
