Overview

This book examines the phenomenon of reservation of title clauses in commercial contracts and looks at the impact of these clauses upon the transactions of which they form a part. With the aid of data gathered from a field survey it also examines the impact of these clauses in situations of insolvency and the strategies employed by insolvency practitioners to counteract their effect. This subject is of increasing interest and importance for legal teaching and research and the book meets the demand for an integrated, readable study of insolvency practice.

'this is a scholarly and well-produced piece of work ... It represents a thorough, competent and well-produced piece of research. More to the point, it provides an interesting excursus into the grubby market-place from which insolvency lawyers make their money, and a useful antidote for anyone else suffering from a surfeit of commercial legal technicality.' Andrew Tettenborn, The Cambridge Law Journal 'this book, and books of its type, should be required reading for all law students and would-be practitioners, for they demonstrate dramaturgically ... the gulf that exists between theory and practice. Courses on negotiating skills would also seem to be a must.' Aviva Y M French, University of Western Australia, Western Australian Law Review, December 1992 'is an interesting study of the operation of reservation of title clauses in practice ... Wheeler gives us all an insight in the dismal world of corporate failure ... essential reading for every ivory towered academic who purports to know something about commercial law. It is a must for any practitioner who is asked to pursue or defend a reservation of title claim, but has no previous experience in the field ... this scholarly work brings to life a subject which has been flogged to death in the textbooks. Thank you, Sally Wheeler.' Lloyd's Maritime and Commercial Law Quarterly
