Challenges of
the New Insolvency Act
- Closing Gaps or
Opening Loopholes?
Editor: Mirna Marović
Publishers: MATE d.o.o. marketing and technology and TMA Croatia
TMA Croatia's first project is the publication of the book, "Challenges of the New Insolvency Act – Closing Gaps or Openign Loopholes?", in which Mirna Marović, the volume's editor and TMA Croatia first vice president, has pooled prominent insolvency experts, including judges, lawyers, consultants, economists and public service experts in the field. The intention behind the present text is that it will form an up-to-date account of themes, developments and perspectives relating to the new Insolvency Act.
Aimed at a practitioner audience, this collection of papers delivers cutting edge material. The timing of the book – to be issued on the day that the Insolvency Act comes into force – aims to provide timely notice to the target audience.
Papers in this book present both procedural and substantive matters relating to the Insolvency Act. However, the objective of the book is to go beyond an appraisal of the new law. This book also hopes to address and emphasise the development of the law where the articulation contains loopholes. Thus, the contribution of this book is to point out where features of the Insolvency Act are optimally designed, and which ones could benefit from improvement.
