Overview

This new edition of Transaction Avoidance in Insolvencies considers a range of practical issues that arise in a typical transaction avoidance case as well as all the possible ways in which a vulnerable transaction might be attacked, in recognition of the fact that the provisions contained in the Insolvency Act 1986 might not always be the only possibilities available.Fully updated to include legislative amendments arising from the Enterprise Act 2002 and the Companies Act 2006, as well as coverage of the 2009 changes to Insolvency Rules 1986, the book provides a timely resource for insolvency practitioners with the upturn in insolvency cases brought about by the economic crisis.

Reviews

<br>Review(s) from previous edition <br><br> As a commentary on English law, Ms Parry's volume is thorough, thoughtful and an indispensable asset to counsel practising debtor-creditor law. There is no doubt that Parry's book will find itself on the shelf of nearly every debtor-creditor lawyer in England. It will be the first place one will turn. <br>--Journal of International Banking Law & Regulation<p><br>

This is a major work. Any practitioner in this area should have access to it if only because it remains a deep and serious study of the key topics within the core areas. It also acts as a wake-up call to readers to reconsider areas which other textbooks very often do not cover and it does so with the awareness and practical insight that these areas clearly deserve. * David Marks QC, International Company and Commercial Law Review *
