This book examines preferential debts derived from specific legislative provisions applying to corporate insolvency. In exploring the concept of preferential treatment the book includes chapters that provide a doctrinal theoretical and historical analysis of who enjoys preferred creditor status. As well as examining the traditional major categories of priorities the work also identifies potential new categories for priority status such as environmental clean-up costs international creditors tort claimants and consumers among other non-consensual creditors. While the study focuses on Australian corporate insolvency law where appropriate comparisons are made with other common law jurisdictions particularly the UK Canada New Zealand and the US.
