OverviewThis book examines powers and remedies available to a liquidator or administrator that render vulnerable the companys prior contractual commitments or proprietary dispositions so as to enhance the asset pool available to creditors. In the process, the book does two things. First, it offers comprehensive accounts of the relevant causes of action: undervalue transactions, preferences, late floating charges, unregistered charges, transactions defrauding creditors, gratuitous corporate transactions and post-petition dispositions in liquidation. Secondly, it seeks to raise issues about the context and purpose of these causes of action, many of which have not yet been fully explored in the case law or academic literature. These are considered through a discussion of their relationship to the pari passu principle; a restitutionary analysis of the remedial provisions; and issues arising specifically in cross-border and international insolvency proceedings. The book is thus a source of reference both for insolvency litigators and for transactional lawyers seeking advice on potential vulnerability. The thematic approach and rigorous analysis will also make it of interest to an academic readership Full Product DetailsAuthor: John Armour (Lovells Professor of Law and Finance, University of Oxford) , Hind Professor of Commercial Law Howard Bennett (University of Nottingham) , Dr Julian Roberts (University of Oxford, UK) , Anthonye BottomsPublisher: Hart Publishing (UK) Imprint: Hart Publishing (UK) ISBN: 9781280807558ISBN 10: 1280807555 Pages: 550 Publication Date: 10 January 2010 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Electronic book text Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In stock We have confirmation that this item is in stock with the supplier.
