It will be an invaluable reference and guide to all lawyers and insolvency practitioners seeking to navigate this increasingly important area of law and practice": Lord Justice Snowden, May 2022
This edition offers a full treatment of the law and procedure of bankruptcy and personal insolvency. This popular title offers authoritative and practical guidance on everything lawyers or insolvency practitioners practising in the field are likely to need in their day-to-day work.
