Insolvency and Restructuring Manual examines the main formal processes involved in the world of corporate insolvency and restructuring such as liquidation, administration, receivership, company voluntary arrangements and schemes of arrangement.
Distinctly practical in style Insolvency and Restructuring Manual utilises bullet pointed and highlighted text, flowcharts, tables and other schematics to explain and compare the main procedures and remedies available in this complex area of law. The book begins by dealing with insolvency principles and processes, as it is necessary to know the effects of a formal insolvency in order then to consider restructuring as an alternative. As there are concerns specific to Directors of insolvent companies there is a chapter dealing with these. The special rights and remedies of creditors - not only secured creditors, but also landlords, employees, pensions-related creditors and retention of title creditors - are examined. A variety of additional considerations involved in a restructuring are then highlighted. Finally, given the increasingly global nature of many groups' businesses, cross-border considerations that may apply are covered. Fully revised and updated the new 3rd edition includes: - The new Insolvency Rules 2016 (coming into force 6 April, 2017), which are designed to modernise the legislation and incorporate various changes to the law since the rules were last drafted
