Hierdie uitgawe van Hockly se insolvensiereg volg die uitgebreide formaat van die vorige twee uitgawes, en die basiese doel daarvan bly dieselfde - om 'n beknopte, maar nogtans redelik gedetailleerde, weergawe van die reg aangaande insolvensie, likwidasie, en geregtelike bestuur te gee. Die titels is vir 'n bree leserskring bestem - dit bring die vakspesialis gerieflik op hoogte van onlangse ontwikkelinge in insolvensie en likwidasie, en dit is ook 'n teks vir studente (op sowel voorgraadse as nagraadse vlak) en 'n gids of gerieflike naslaanwerk vir insolvensiepraktisyns. Insolvensie is 'n gebied waarin daar gedurig ontwikkelings in die regspraak en toepaslike wetgewing is. Ons het gepoog om al die veranderings in te sluit wat gedurende die vier jaar sedert die laaste uitgawe van Hockly se Insolvensiereg plaasgevind het. Die titel weerspieel die insolvensiereg soos aan die einde van Augustus 2006. Soos tevore bevat die bylaes voorbeelde van aansoeke, boedelrekenings en die Insolvensiewet. Kruisverwysings in die teks is na paragrawe, nie bladsye nie. Verwysings in die registers van wetgewing en van hofsake, en in die indeks, is na bladsye.
