Corporate Insolvency Law and Practice

.........................................................................................................................
Description
Promised for so long, the new Rules have arrived! This fifth edition of Corporate Insolvency: Law and Practice covers the Insolvency Rules 2016 which came into force on 6 April 2017. It is a great pity that the forthcoming reformulation of the Practice Direction: Insolvency Proceedings was not achieved in time to join the implementation of the new Rules nor the production of this fifth edition. The Chancellor's Practice Note of 6 April 2017 promised an interim revised Practice Direction in the near future' with a substantially revised Practice Direction 'in due course'. However, even a delay in the date to which this edition aims to state the law to 1 September 2017 has been insufficient to see the publication of even the interim revised Practice Direction.
