DOWNLOAD EBOOKWho enjoys statutory preferred creditor status? What justifications exist for jurisdictions to maintain statutes that favour 'priority' creditors over other creditors and contributories? This book examines preferential debts derived from specific legislative provisions applying to corporate insolvency. In exploring the concept of preferential treatment, Statutory Priorities in Corporate Insolvency Law includes chapters that provide a doctrinal, theoretical and historical analysis of who enjoys preferred creditor status. As well as examining the traditional major categories of priorities, this work also identifies potential new categories for priority status such as environmental clean-up costs, international creditors, tort claimants and consumers among other non-consensual creditors. While the study focuses on Australian corporate insolvency law, where appropriate, comparisons are made with other common law jurisdictions, particularly the UK, Canada, New Zealand and the US.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn 14 November 2002, the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Corporations and Financial Services agreed to consider and report on the operation of Australia's insolvency and voluntary administration laws. In its approach to the range of issues it had to consider, the Committee placed importance on the following objectives and values: encouraging early intervention in the affairs of companies in financial difficulties and restoring companies to profitable trading where practicable; striking a balance between voluntary administration and liquidation; protecting the interests of creditors and, in particular, employees in circumstances of financial difficulty and corporate malpractice; maximising the value of an insolvent company's assets; reducing the cost of credit; and encouraging the good management of companies and deterring malpractice, and in particular, abuses of the corporate form and insolvency procedures generally.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKVanessa Finch provides an interesting look at corporate insolvency laws and processes. She adopts an interdisciplinary approach to place two questions at the centre of her discussion. Are current UK laws and procedures efficient, expert, accountable and fair? Are fundamentally different conceptions of insolvency law needed for it to develop in a way that serves corporate and broader social ends? Topics considered in this wide-ranging book include different ways of financing companies, causes of corporate failure and prospects for designing rescue-friendly processes. Also examined are alternative asset distribution of failed companies, allocations of insolvency risks and effects of insolvency on a company's directors and employees. Finch argues that changes of approach are needed if insolvency law is to develop with coherence and purpose. This book will appeal to academics and students at advanced undergraduate and graduate level, and to legal practitioners throughout the common law world.
