Overview

This new title covers a very important area of law in the current economic climate. Currently, the personal insolvency legislation is being reformed in Ireland. The area has not seen such a change in decades, the last significant piece of legislation being the Bankruptcy Act 1988. The Personal Insolvency Act 2012 radically changed the law relating to personal insolvency and bankruptcy in Ireland. The main impact of the Act is that it introduces the establishment of a State-run Insolvency Service to operate the new non-judicial insolvency arrangements. This very timely title covers all the elements of the new legislation, the EU and cross-border aspects.
