Reviews

'This fascinating collection offers insights from a range of insolvency specialists. The beauty of the text lies in the diversity of coverage. Apart from the mainstream issues, we find perceptive analysis of bank insolvency, franchise distress, the impact of insolvency on employees and the interface with environmental law. The comparative input is excellent. Overall, an essential addition to the library of any insolvency scholar.' David Milman, Lancaster University, UK '...highly recommended both to read and as a reference source. [this book] provides a lead to numerous other issues and ideas, throughout the insolvency world.' Australian Journal of Corporate Law
