The scope of insolvency law is vast, impacting nearly every area of private law. Once insolvency proceedings are initiated, rights established in other legal fields can no longer be enforced through ordinary civil processes but must be addressed through specialized insolvency proceedings, often altering the nature of those rights. From the Canadian blood supply system and national airlines to the recovery of victims of mass torts, Bankruptcy and Insolvency Law illustrates how insolvency law influences the fate of individuals, businesses, and entire communities.
demonstrates how insolvency law shapes not only legal outcomes but also the very foundation of our economic and social systems.
