Product description

Insolvent Trading and Fraudulent Trading in Australia: Regulation and Context extensively examines the regulation of insolvent trading and fraudulent trading in both an historical and contemporary light, including discussion in the context of:

  • Judicial analysis
  • Historical developments
  • Contemporary theory
  • Legislative reform
  • International jurisdictions
  • The corporate environment
  • Regulatory provisions of incorporated non-profit associations and co-operatives

Additionally, this text provides up-to-date commentary on a number of aspects of the reforms to the Corporations Act 2001 which have been brought about by the introduction of the Insolvency Law Reform Act 2016 (Cth). The reforms will pose significant implications on the law of personal liability of individual directors in insolvent trading cases.
