Insolvent Trading and Fraudulent Trading in Australia: Regulation and Context, LexisNexis Butterworths, 2016, extensively examined and analysed the regulation of insolvent trading and fraudulent trading in Australia 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 provided up-to-date analysis and commentary on a number of aspects of the reforms to the Corporations Act 2001 which were brought about by the introduction of the Insolvency Law Reform Act 2016 (Cth). The reforms posed significant implications on the law of personal liability of individual directors and holding companies in insolvent trading cases.
The Book provided detailed analysis of similar legislation in New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
Importantly, the Book also contained a detailed examination of fraudulent trading in these various jurisdictions.
The book was regarded as a valuable resource for legal and insolvency specialists, company directors, insurers of those directors and law students undertaking specialised corporate law courses in company administration and corporate governance.
