The Law of Company Insolvency MICHAEL FORDE 'This book should not be on the shelves of every practitioner but on their desks as it is an extremely worthwhile and practical guide to the complex law of insolvency. Dr Forde has produced a most readable text and his knowledge of his subject is well displayed in the level and research of cases decided in the U.K. and elsewhere, including the USA. For many years practitioners have had to soldier on without the benefit of such a text. I believe that practitioners and their advisers will be all the better for the availability of this book. None of them should be without it'John Donnelly, Deloitte& Touche. 'The book is a vital and welcome addition to the library of any insolvency practitioner or lawyer, or indeed to any accountant who requires to advise his clients on any aspect of corporate insolvency' Austin Power, Accountancy Ireland.
