'From an EU perspective, schemes of arrangement will remain the 'gold standard' for efficient and timely court-based restructurings. This book provides the most informative and detailed examination of schemes in law and practice available. If you wish to know how they work, how they compare to a restructuring plan or a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), or how they can help foreign companies even after Brexit, Jennifer Payne's second edition will leave none of your questions unanswered.' Stephan Madaus, Professor of Civil Law, Civil Procedure and Insolvency Law, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg
