Bailey and Groves: Corporate Insolvency - Law and Practice provides comprehensive coverage of the law and practice of corporate insolvency for both legal and accountancy practitioners.

The text combines an explanation of the substantive law with suggested solutions to the problems that are often encountered in practice. With many insolvencies now containing an international element, practitioners will find the comparison between UK/US law particularly useful.

The book includes procedural checklists and an appendix containing forms of proxy and useful precedents. It provides a fully comprehensive reference source for solicitors and accountants specialising in insolvency.

New for this edition: Commentary on the Enterprise Act 2002. New chapters on cross-border insolvency and on corporate insolvency and the Human Rights Act.
