Dissolution and Restoration of Companies

Andrew Keay, Emeritus Professor of Corporate and Commercial Law, School of Law, University of Leeds, Academic Member, South Square, Gray's Inn and Barrister (unregistered), UK

‘This book, which forms part of the Elgar Corporate and Insolvency Law and Practice series, is primarily addressed to a professional audience. The technical and detailed exposition of the rules governing the area makes this book essential for insolvency practitioners, as well as legal professionals advising clients on these processes. However, the varied case law analysed in the book and the sharp analysis of the inconsistencies and problems arising from the implementation of the existing provisions make this book an invaluable addition to the libraries of universities and research centres, as well as the workplaces of those academics specialised in corporate insolvency matters. Finally, the book’s well-structured, rigorous and easy-to-follow narrative makes me believe that it could be easily consulted by foreign academics and researchers interested in conducting comparative studies in the area. As usual for any previous publications from Professor Keay, this book is a terrific addition to the existing literature on corporate insolvency matters, and it comes as highly recommended.’
