Download or read book Statutory Priorities in Corporate Insolvency Law written by Christopher F. Symes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who enjoys statutory preferred creditor status? What justifications exist for jurisdictions to maintain statutes that favour 'priority' creditors over other creditors and contributories? This book examines preferential debts derived from specific legislative provisions applying to corporate insolvency. In exploring the concept of preferential treatment, Statutory Priorities in Corporate Insolvency Law includes chapters that provide a doctrinal, theoretical and historical analysis of who enjoys preferred creditor status. As well as examining the traditional major categories of priorities, this work also identifies potential new categories for priority status such as environmental clean-up costs, international creditors, tort claimants and consumers among other non-consensual creditors. While the study focuses on Australian corporate insolvency law, where appropriate, comparisons are made with other common law jurisdictions, particularly the UK, Canada, New Zealand and the US.

Download or read book Insolvency Law written by Harry Rajak and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The worldwide depression of the 1990s, coupled with the reforms to insolvency law in the UK, has brought about the need for a better understanding of the way in which the insolvency process operates. A critique on insolvency law, this book relates that analysis to the real issues faced by practitioners who deal with domestic or foreign cases. Subjects covered in the volume are wide-ranging and include personal insolvency and family law; retention of title; cross-border issues; and rescue of insolvent companies. The examination of the last of these areas brings together the approaches of several jurisdictions outside the UK to the issues of when insolvent companies or those heading for insolvency should be saved from liquidation. As an example, knowledge of the procedure for company rescue under Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code is essential if a practitioner is to advise on the problems of collapse of a multi-national conglomerate. This collection of papers was originally presented as part of the W.G. Hart Workshop on Insolvency Law given at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in July 1991. The papers have been edited and updated to form this work on the operation of the insolvency process in the UK and abroad.
Download or read book Insolvency Law Made Clear written by Daniel Kessler and published by Bath Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2021-06-30 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debt is a fact of life nowadays. Debt is used to help businesses grow and individuals secure their futures. But sometimes things go awry - the financial upheaval of pandemic being a prime example - and a debtor is left facing bills they cannot pay. Their creditors may then start to take legal action to recover their money and, if they are still not paid, creditors may threaten to present a bankruptcy or a winding up petition. The law and procedures involved are complex and can seem overwhelming to someone with little legal knowledge. Insolvency Law Made Clear: A Guide for Debtors aims to help such people. It is a clear, plain English guide to personal and corporate insolvency law and procedure that will help the debtor either challenge their creditors or enable them to come out the other side with the best outcome possible so they can move on to the next chapter in their life. Daniel Kessler, a barrister who represents both debtors and creditors in the insolvency courts, answers all the key questions that the reader will need to answer such as: Should a debtor go bankrupt? If not, what are the alternatives? Should the debtor resist? What is a statutory demand and what is a bankruptcy petition? What powers does a Trustee in Bankruptcy have? And can they be challenged? What are the different types of corporate insolvency? When will a director have to pay the debts of their company? What happens after a company is wound up? Crucially, he also provides invaluable tips, guidance and checklists on how to represent yourself in proceedings - sometimes, the only option where funds are tight- alongside a collection of precedent documents and forms that will help in that effort. This comprehensive combination of guidance and precedents in Insolvency Law Made Clear: A Guide for Debtors makes it an essential reference for everyone facing a debt they cannot afford to repay, whether as an individual or a business.
