Book excerpt: The sixth edition of KEAY'S INSOLVENCY incorporates the extensive changes in both corporate and personal insolvency legislation as well as the introduction of significant international cross-border insolvency laws to Australia. In corporate law, significant changes made by the Corporations Amendment Insolvency Act 2007 (Cth) - the end result of numerous recommended changes to the law made by CAMAC, the Parliamentary Joint Committee and the profession over the past ten years or more -- have been incorporated in this edition. The new court insolvency rules and major changes to Australian insolvency law made by the Cross-Border Insolvency Act 2008 (Cth), which commences on 1 July 2008, are explained in the text. In bankruptcy, there have been substantial changes to Part IX debt agreements under the Bankruptcy Legislation Amendment (Debt Agreements) Act 2007 (Cth), and also to the rights of recovery of superannuation contributions under the Bankruptcy Legislation Amendment (Superannuation Contributions) Act 2007 (Cth). Important new case law includes the decisions of the High Court in Coventry v Charter Pacific Corporation Ltd; Foots v Southern Cross Mine Management Pty Ltd; and Sons of Gwalia Ltd v Margaretic, and decisions of the Supreme and Federal Courts in relation to voluntary administrations, preferences, annulments, and practitioner conduct. The first decisions of the Family Court in bankruptcy are covered, as well as relevant overseas decisions. All major personal and corporate law changes up to mid 2008 have been included in this edition. Concise and authoritative, KEAY'S INSOLVENCY continues to be an insightful and useful exposition for accountants, lawyers and financial advisers and an instructive and helpful text for both law and commerce students.
