• Summary:"Sears, Payless, Target, Toys "R" Us, and Nortel are just a few of the recent corporate bankruptcies that have drawn national and international attention. The loss of more than CAD190 million dollars of investor funds and the bankruptcy proceedings in the cryptocurrency exchange Quadriga CX raise a new challenge for the bankruptcy system. Large-scale disasters like the Lac-Mégantic train disaster in Canada with its mass tort claims, and the constant media attention paid to the debt problems felt by millennial students and the elderly also keep bankruptcy in the media on a near daily basis. Globally, we see what happens when there is no way to offer a country bankruptcy relief as we watch in horror as Venezuelan citizens struggle to stay alive in the face of draconian austerity measures. The way that a country chooses to deal with the debts of its citizens (corporate and individual) tells a deep and complex story about the underlying values in that society. We learn about what constitutes a "fresh start," who we give second chances to, which voices and interests are valued and which institutions are entrusted to make these decisions. This casebook sets out to provide clear, accessible, and elucidating textual commentary on the law, modern and illustrative cases, and plenty of realistic problems to challenge students to do what lawyers actually do -- address and solve clients' problems. A particularly helpful aspect of this book generally will be that it describes the law both on the books and in action. The empirical, historical, and practical work that the authors have done on both the consumer and the business side is usefully reflected in this book."-- Provided by publisher.
