LAWS6361: Advanced Insolvency Law
2022 unit information
This unit involves the operation of insolvency law in its commercial context. The unit will build on studies in Insolvency Law by considering how insolvency law rules interact with non-insolvency law (including taxation law, trusts law, property law and employment law) within the context of common commercial arrangements (such as commercial leasing, trading trust arrangements and contracts for the supply of services). The unit will consider the position of common stakeholders involved in debt restructuring and corporate rescue efforts to support debtors during times of financial distress.
