'The importance of schemes of arrangement in insolvency law goes well beyond the UK borders. The attractiveness of the instrument has shaken European insolvency law, even triggering legal reform across Europe. Professor Payne's book is the single most important academic contribution on schemes, and, as such, a must-read for both academics and practitioners alike.'
