Details

Keay’s Insolvency has become a recognised text on personal and corporate insolvency law and practice in Australia, and it is widely used by practitioners and regularly cited in court.

It offers both a detailed explanation of the law, supported by case law and commentary, and of insolvency practice, along with the authors’ critical analysis of the effectiveness and efficiency of the regime and views on its need for reform.

Keay’s Insolvency now includes a detailed chapter on the restructuring of insolvent businesses, including in the context of a safe harbour process, outside the formal regimes of the Corporations Act.

Those studying and practising in insolvency now have an authoritative text covering all current insolvency and restructuring law and practice in Australia.
