Corporate Insolvency Law: Perspectives and Principles

Vanessa Finch reviews U.K. corporate insolvency laws and processes, with two key questions posed throughout. Are current U.K. laws and procedures efficient, expert, accountable and fair? Are fundamentally different conceptions needed for the law to develop in a way that serves corporate and broader social ends? Topics considered in this volume include different ways of financing companies, causes of corporate failure and prospects for designing rescue-friendly processes. The book appeals to academics, students at advanced undergraduate and graduate levels and legal practitioners.
