Recent years have seen extensive changes to insolvency practice, precedents, and procedures. Fully updated, Corporate Insolvency Practice is the only comprehensive “how to do it” guide for solicitors and barristers to all the most common court applications in corporate insolvency.
Covering areas as diverse as winding up petitions to administrations to the reuse of company names, this practical and accessible book seeks to give the inside track on what the court will expect both in terms of practice and evidence. It also provides the busy practitioner with the key statutory and practice material for each application as well as sample precedents to illustrate what the finished application notice, order or witness statement might look like.
Packed with precedents, forms, checklists and statutory extracts, Corporate Insolvency Practice ensures you have readily to hand everything you need to prepare and present the most common insolvency applications. The new edition of this title will be an invaluable reference for all practitioners making insolvency applications in the Companies Court:
“There are many situations in which an application to court is required in corporate insolvency proceedings. Stipulations and guidance are to be found in various sources. Anyone new to insolvency law may find it daunting to be involved in what is sometimes thought of as a niche area of law – despite thousands of corporate insolvencies occurring every year."
"This book brings together legislation, practice directions and insights from common law, resulting in an invaluable guide for practitioners at all levels. It starts with the basics: making and responding to applications when insolvency procedures are instigated. It then moves on to the suite of typical applications by or against insolvency officeholders. There a helpful ‘toolkit’ section at the end covering general points, ensuring that the practitioner is up to date with the court’s expectations. Essential details are provided, such as the cost of each type of application and how advocates are expected to dress at a hearing. While the focus is on corporate insolvency, there are some useful comparisons with personal insolvencies."
"This is valuable to those who work in both fields. The text is peppered with copies of court forms and precedents, which are completed with examples rather than just blank documents.”
