Now in its third edition, Personal Insolvency Practice is an indispensable guide to the most common personal insolvency applications for solicitors and barristers. Updated to take account of EX50A Guidance on Court Fees 2022 and Chancery Guide 2022, the book provides the busy practitioner with a comprehensive range of useful precedents and checklists, and sets out the key statutory and practice material for each application. The book provides practitioners with answers to questions such as:

What form do I use?
What fee do I pay?
What does my evidence need to cover?
Which court should I file at? • Who do I need to serve?
What will the judge be looking for?

This edition also contains new precedents for claims under section 423, Insolvency Act 1986 in the wake of Moffat v Moffat [2021] BPIR 1309 and Manolete Partners v Hayward & Barrett Holdings [2021] BPIR 427.
