This sixth edition of the standard work on insolvency law uses an all-new format. In an attempt to highlight the system and the regulatory framework even more clearly, the volume is structured with a stronger focus on the individual players and the key subject matter. Following an introduction, part two concentrates on debtors, creditors, and receivers. Part three is dedicated to identifying and securing insolvency assets - the receiver's credo. The course taken by insolvency proceedings is explored succinctly in part four; then asset receivership in open proceedings is explained. A special section is now also included dealing with insolvency schemes, which are gaining in importance.
The work is rounded out by numerous case studies including solutions plus schemata, ensuring that the handbook is a fast, efficient source of information.
