The focus of Proprietary Claims and Insolvency is the use of the trust and analogous devices by companies and individuals to gain priority over other creditors in the event of corporate collapse.
It examines in detail the treatment of trusts at all stages of an insolvency, including the tracing of assets, changes in form, the investigation of profits accrued as a result of breaches in fiduciary duty, and remedies for redressing perceived injustices.
