The handbook takes into account recent statutory developments in areas such as employment, pension and partnership law as well as the new regulations which attempt to deal with the ever increasing number of cross border insolvencies.The second edition includes scores of new case law references including commentary on key recent decisions such as Leyland Daf, Spectrum Plus, Trident Fashions, Powerhouse, Collins and Aikman and Save Group Plc.
