'From an EU perspective, schemes of arrangement will remain the
'gold standard' for efficient and timely court-based
restructurings. This book provides the most informative and
detailed examination of schemes in law and practice available. If
you wish to know how they work, how they compare to a restructuring
plan or a company voluntary arrangement (CVA), or how they can help
foreign companies even after Brexit, Jennifer Payne's second
edition will leave none of your questions unanswered.' Stephan
Madaus, Professor of Civil Law, Civil Procedure and Insolvency Law,
Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg
'The importance of schemes of arrangement in insolvency law goes
well beyond the UK borders. The attractiveness of the instrument
has shaken European insolvency law, even triggering legal reform
across Europe. Professor Payne's book is the single most important
academic contribution on schemes, and, as such, a must-read for
both academics and practitioners alike.' Ignacio Tirado,
Secretary-General, UNIDROIT
