This book considers all forms of insolvency including personal and corporate insolvency, liquidation, receivership and administration. A clear exposition of the procedures to be followed is provided, and the book incorporates a considerable body of case law, with particular reference to the areas of winding up procedures and voluntary arrangements. There is an expanded section on the use of IVAs especially in regard to voting, and the section on partnerships takes into account the changes brought about by the Insolvent Partnerships Order 1994 and the introduction of the concept of the Partnership Administration Order and Partnership Voluntary Arrangement.

This book provides a self-contained guide for every student of intellectual property law. It gives a comprehensive view of UK patent, copyright and design law, together with the law of confidentiality and passing off. Topography rights, rights in performances and plant breeding rights are also dealt with. In each case, legislative initiatives from the European Community are discussed in detail. Much of our intellectual property law already comes from this source, and domestic legislation is increasingly harmonised among Member States. Where appropriate, comparisons are drawn with other jurisdictions. 

The aim of this book is to demonstrate to the well-prepared candidate how to translate the knowledge gained through studies, into answers that will attract high grades, not by the quoting of abstruse cases that settle fine points of law, but by the logical use of material that should be within the student's knowledge.

Topics in which there have been recent developments are always popular with examiners, and included in this book are questions involving duty of care, nervous shock, liability of the police and rescue services, defamation and damages, as well as other ever-popular areas that are regularly tested by examiners.

A study of this book will result in a dramatic increase in the examination grades of the reader.

Very clear and precise and the students responded well to it. -- Michael Moore, University of Sheffield.
