Dissolution and Restoration of Companies

Elgar Corporate and Insolvency Law and Practice series

Andrew Keay, Professor of Corporate and Commercial Law, School of Law, University of Leeds and Barrister, Kings Chambers and 9 Stone Buildings, Lincoln's Inn, UK

This comprehensive book offers a thorough exposition and analysis of all aspects of the dissolution and restoration of companies. Considering all relevant UK legislation and case law, it examines the ways in which companies are both dissolved and restored, the issues that may arise in these processes, and the effects this has on the company and third parties.

‘This book makes an important and timely contribution to a neglected yet vital area. In the first book-length treatment of the subject, Professor Keay draws together the theory and practice in a way that is comprehensive and learned, while simultaneously concise and readable. Following several recent appellate cases on dissolution and restoration, this is the perfect opportunity to take stock. It is highly recommended as an essential reference for corporate and insolvency lawyers, insolvency practitioners, creditors and litigation funders.’
– Joseph Curl QC, 9 Stone Buildings, Lincoln's Inn and and Deputy Insolvency and Companies Court Judge, England and Wales

‘I have little doubt that it will ultimately be established as the vade mecum for busy practitioners in this field. It contains a scholarly exposition of the legislation and its governing principles. It is comprehensive in scope and presented in a way that is well structured and easy to follow. It is also a useful source for the guidance of the courts on obscure but important collateral issues which sometimes arise in practice. . . The book is a significant achievement and Professor Keay is to be commended for it.’
