‘This work is invaluable as a tool of reference for all insolvency officeholders, lawyers and stakeholders who specialise in bankruptcy. Both the legal and practical aspects of the bankruptcy process are comprehensively addressed and clearly explained from both a creditor’s and a debtor’s perspective. It is up to date and includes analysis of recent case law such as Manolete v Hayward. The relevant case law and legislation are clearly referenced throughout. The quality is assured by these experienced and eminent authors. A must buy!’ – Christina Fitzgerald, Edwin Coe LLP

This isn’t only a go to book for legislative updates and comment but the writers have considered the historical background and context needed when considering bankruptcy matters.
