Bankruptcy: Law and Practice

This book presents a comprehensive guide to the law of bankruptcy in England and Wales and how it is applied in practice, focusing on this key area of personal insolvency law in order to provide a full understanding of how these laws operate.

Alaric Watson and Stephen Baister provide an up-to-date and in-depth analysis of every aspect of bankruptcy law. In addition, this new work also examines the historical and socio-economic context in which this field of law operates and the policies that govern it, the impact of the death or incapacity of the debtor, the interrelationship between bankruptcy and both matrimonial law and employment law and various cross-border considerations.

Key Features:

  • Exploration of the jurisdictional and procedural requirements for initiating bankruptcy proceedings and their immediate effects
  • Insights into the role and powers of the official receiver and the trustee in bankruptcy, and the administration of the estate and the realisation of assets
  • Investigation into the undoing of antecedent transactions
  • Discussion of the processing of creditors’ claims and the distribution of dividends and how orders may be reviewed, appealed or annulled

Bankruptcy: Law and Practice is essential reading for lawyers, insolvency practitioners, academics and students concerned with issues relating to personal insolvency.
