视角为21世纪

Edited by Emilie Ghio, Lecturer of Corporate and Insolvency Law, School of Law, University of Edinburgh, John M. Wood, Lecturer in Law, School of Law, Lancaster University and Jennifer L.L. Gant, Senior Lecturer in Law, College of Business Law and Social Sciences, University of Derby, UK

An original book offering a unique theoretical approach, Re-examining Insolvency Law and Theory analyses the important role that legal theory plays in the development of insolvency law. It explores how law and theory are able to respond to issues of financial distress in the 21st century and questions how insolvency law could develop to address contemporary challenges.

‘This collection is a very welcome contribution to scholarship in relation to the law of corporate insolvency and rescue. The doctrinal features of this body of law are complex and challenging. The addition of a theoretical analysis is long overdue, partly I am sure because of the intellectual challenges of combining theory with doctrinal clarity. The authors have done so admirably, not surprising to those of us who are aware of the standing and reputation of many of the contributors to the collection. This is a volume which is a “must have” for all interested in the subject.’
