Critical Acclaim
‘This book, which forms part of the Elgar Corporate and Insolvency Law and Practice series, is primarily addressed to a professional audience. The technical and detailed exposition of the rules governing the area makes this book essential for insolvency practitioners, as well as legal professionals advising clients on these processes. However, the varied case law analysed in the book and the sharp analysis of the inconsistencies and problems arising from the implementation of the existing provisions make this book an invaluable addition to the libraries of universities and research centres, as well as the workplaces of those academics specialised in corporate insolvency matters. Finally, the book’s well-structured, rigorous and easy-to-follow narrative makes me believe that it could be easily consulted by foreign academics and researchers interested in conducting comparative studies in the area. As usual for any previous publications from Professor Keay, this book is a terrific addition to the existing literature on corporate insolvency matters, and it comes as highly recommended.’
– Eugenio Vaccari, Royal Holloway, University of London, UK

‘This book makes an important and timely contribution to a neglected yet vital area. In the first book-length treatment of the subject, Professor Keay draws together the theory and practice in a way that is comprehensive and learned, while simultaneously concise and readable. Following several recent appellate cases on dissolution and restoration, this is the perfect opportunity to take stock. It is highly recommended as an essential reference for corporate and insolvency lawyers, insolvency practitioners, creditors and litigation funders.’
– Joseph Curl QC, 9 Stone Buildings, Lincoln''s Inn and Deputy Insolvency and Companies Court Judge, England and Wales

‘I have little doubt that it will ultimately be established as the vade mecum for busy practitioners in this field. It contains a scholarly exposition of the legislation and its governing principles. It is comprehensive in scope and presented in a way that is well structured and easy to follow. It is also a useful source for the guidance of the courts on obscure but important collateral issues which sometimes arise in practice. . . The book is a significant achievement and Professor Keay is to be commended for it.’
– From the foreword by His Honour Judge Mark Halliwell, Specialist Circuit Judge, England and Wales
