Lewis' Australian Bankruptcy Law

Lewis' Australian Bankruptcy Law is the authoritative textbook in the area of bankruptcy law. It provides a clear explanation of the principles of bankruptcy law & details the legislation & case law shaping the area. The new edition has been thoroughly revised to encompass the important changes to the legislation such as the 1996 administrative amendments to the Bankruptcy Act, the National Personal Insolvency Index & the abolition of Registrars in Bankruptcy. Other significant changes include new provisions on voidable payments & transfers before bankruptcy, the new Part IX providing for debt agreements, & changes concerning procedures under Part X: registered trustees, the jurisdiction of courts, & the subordinate legislation (now contained in the Bankruptcy Regulations & Rules of Court).
