Goode on Principles of Corporate Insolvency Law

............................................................................................
Description
It is a great honour to have been given the opportunity to prepare this edition of Goode on Principles of Corporate Insolvency Law. In doing so, I hope that I have done this important and influential work a measure of justice. I am very grateful to Professor Goode for the time that he has invested in reviewing the manuscript, and more generally to him and his wife, the wonderful Catherine, for the tremendous support and encouragement that they have given to me and to my family over the years. There have been a great many changes in the field since the last edition. There have been significant legislative developments, including the entry into force of the Insolvency Rules 2016, the enactment of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015 and, at the EU level, the passage of the recast European Insolvency Regulation. Equally important has been the role played by judges, who have continued to work to fill some of the many gaps in the statutory regime by the sensible, incremental development of judge-made rules, and to refine the principles that govern the exercise of their discretion. The result is a large body of new case law that has clarified various facets of the English corporate insolvency regime and assisted in the resolution of some of the most complex insolvencies arising out of the global financial crisis.
