The Family, Creditors, and Insolvency Book

This book considers the impact of insolvency and the claims of creditors on the family. The conflict between the interests of the creditors and the interests of the family is not easy to resolve particularly in the context of a marriage breakdown, bankruptcy, or where claims concern the possession of the family home. This is therefore an area of considerable practical importance and one that raises key issues of principle. The book provides commentary on the existing regime (covering both contentious and non-contentious matters), and also highlights new questions and problems not previously considered in any depth. It acts as a guide for family and insolvency practitioners who already have an understanding of basic procedures but need guidance on the complexities when these two areas come into conflict. Also included are statutory extracts, relevant procedural rules and forms, along with practical examples demonstrating when issues such as property values, mortgages, and accounts need to be considered.Read More
