With insolvency issues increasingly extending across national borders, practitioners in this area need specialist guidance on the particular problems which apply in cross-border insolvency. The new 3rd edition of this acclaimed book has been extensively revised and updated to provide a practical analysis of the fundamental changes to cross-border insolvency law and practice in England as result of the European Insolvency Regulation, as well as the Cross Border Insolvency Regulations 2006 which implemented the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency. With illustrations at the end of each chapter showing how to avoid practical problems, this thoroughly researched text gives an insight into the impact and potential difficulties of the law, enabling the practitioner to anticipate problems before they arise.
