Administrative Receivership and Administration - An Analysis
This working copy of a paper argues that the Enterprise Act 2002 has changed the way those dealing with distressed companies are required to behave much more significantly than most commentators realise.

Charges over Chattels
Much of the recent debate as to the criteria which determine whether a charge is properly characterised as fixed or floating has revolved around charges over book debts or other receivables. Charges over chattels have received somewhat less attention.

Liquidation Expenses and Floating Charges
In the context of the decision by the House of Lords in Buchler v. Talbot, this working copy of a paper considers the nature of the charge and the mortgage, and asks what effect the creation of such security interests has on the property of the company.

Resolving the MS Fashions “Paradox”
In the context of the decision of the House of Lords in Re Bank of Credit and Commerce International S.A. (No. 8) [1998] AC 214, this short working copy of a paper asks (i) whether the existence of a charge in one’s favour over one’s own indebtedness (a ‘charge-back’) destroys the mutuality necessary for insolvency set-off to operate, and (ii) whether the assets of the insolvent company are notionally collected before the set-off may operate.

The Search for Someone to Save: A Defensive Case for the Priority of Secured Credit
The priority of secured credit has repeatedly and famously been attacked for allowing the exploitation of certain types of unsecured creditor. It has also been blamed for creating inefficiencies. This paper examines these arguments specifically as applied to the UK, and using both theoretical analysis and recent empirical data, suggests none of them can be sustained.
