Now Available! New Volumes 1 and 2
Volume 1 carries forward the tradition of the previous edition and collects those topics that are not tied to a particular Code section, encompassing all of the introductory material and the material on the bankruptcy court system, jurisdiction, venue, appeals, the U.S. trustee system, bankruptcy crimes, professional responsibility, fees and mediation. Of particular note:
- Chapter 1 is an entirely new overview of bankruptcy law. For the first time, Collier on Bankruptcy has an overview that not only explains the structure of the law but also sets out the functions and operation of relief under the Code—a perfect primer for lawyers new to the field.
- New Chapter 10: “Suits Against Trustees and Debtors in Possession Without Leave of the Bankruptcy Court, and Their Duty to Comply with State Law and to
Pay Taxes.”
- New Chapter 20, a thorough treatment of the history of bankruptcy legislation—organized chronologically with a thumbnail sketch of developments leading to the 1978 Code—an essential resource to understanding the intent of the various amendments.
Volume 2 comprises discussion of Chapter 1 of the Bankruptcy Code (§§ 101–112) and subchapter I of Chapter 3 (§§ 301–308). As in the previous edition, each Code section is covered in its own chapter.
Each chapter of the 16th Edition is written by a bankruptcy specialist uniquely qualified to write on the topic covered, and carefully reviewed by the Collier on Bankruptcy Editors-in-Chief, Alan Resnick and Henry Sommer, and members of the Collier on Bankruptcy Board of Editors.
Coming in December! New Volumes 4 and 7 covering analysis of the Code sections on subchapters I and II of Chapter V (including important material on allowance of proofs of claim, secured status, debtor’s duties, exemptions and exceptions to discharge) as well as analysis of the Code sections on Chapter 11 reorganizations.
