Practice Notes On Insolvency Law

This book forms an introduction to the law of insolvency as laid down by the Insolvency Act 1986. All forms of insolvency, including personal and corporate insolvency, liquidation, receivership and administration, are considered. A clear exposition of the procedures to be followed is provided and a considerable body of case law, in particular, around the areas of winding up procedures and voluntary arrangements, is incorporated.The fourth edition has been updated to take into account the large number of changes effecting most aspects of insolvency law in the last few years, especially the changes to procedure brought in as a result of the Civil Procedure Rules (which have been incorporated into the Insolvency Rules). The activity of the courts in the area of personal insolvency, both in relation to IVAs and the meaning of property as far as a bankrupt's estate is concerned, has also been reflected in the revised text.
