Product description

Heath and Whale Insolvency Law in New Zealand, 3rd edition, covers both corporate and personal insolvencies in New Zealand. This edition includes developments in the law over the past five years, such as the enactment of the Insolvency Amendment Act 2016, the proposed co-regulation licensing regime for insolvency practitioners, and the updated commentary of relevant case law.

The book provides legal and practical guidance on insolvency and restructuring issues commonly encountered in New Zealand. It is both academically sound and founded in the practical realities of a busy insolvency practitioner’s life – a text that will be the ’first port of call’ for all those working in, or with an interest in, insolvency.
