This set deals with the problems generated by those cases of
insolvency (either of an individual or of a company) where the
presence of contacts with more than one system of law brings into
operation the principles and methods of private international law
(also known as conflict of laws).
Part I of the main work is mainly devoted to an examination of the
body of rules and practice that has evolved in England during the
course of the past two-and-a-half centuries, and surveys the
current state of the law derived from a blend of statutory and case
authorities. Contrasting approaches under a selection of foreign
systems -- principally Australia, Canada, France and the USA -- are
examined by way of comparison. There are up-to-date accounts of the
circumstances under which insolvency proceedings can be opened in
respect of debtors which are not primarily based in England, and of
the grounds on which English courts will recognize foreign
insolvency proceedings and give assistance to the foreign
representative of the debtor's estate.
Part II of the main work explores the progress towards the
creation of international arrangements to co-ordinate and
rationalize the conduct of insolvency proceedings which have
cross-border features, particularly where the debtor is capable of
being subjected to concurrent proceedings in two or more
jurisdictions. Central to the developments described in detail in
this Part are the EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings and the
UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency.
This set includes the supplement to the second edition, which
covers key developments in case law and legislation in the subject
up to October 2006, and is an essential purchasefor all who have
already bought the main work. It includes the full text of the
Cross-Border Insolvency Regulations 2006, along with commentary on
the regulations. The supplement also includes the text of Council
Regulation 694/2006, amending EC Regulation 1346/2000 on insolvency
proceedings, and references to key developments in case law,
including Eurofood IFSC Ltd, Daisytek ISA, and Cambridge Gas
Transport Corp v Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors of
Navigator Holdings plc. The commentary on case developments links
back to the relevant paragraph in the main work.

New supplement updating the second edition with commentary on
recent developments, to October 2006
Major recasting of chapter 6 (formerly dealing with the (by then)
dormant EC Convention on Insolvency Proceedings) now giving an
