The Law of Private Receivers of Companies in New Zealand, Second Edition

Title: The Law of Private Receivers of Companies in New Zealand, Second Edition
Author/s: Associate Professor Michael Gedye, Rt Hon Peter Blanchard
ISBN: 9780408717915
Price: $186.38 excl. GST and Freight & Handling
Brief Synopsis: This book is a successor to The Law of Company Receiverships in New Zealand and Australia. Since the last edition of that work appeared in 1994, the New Zealand statute law concerning the security interests under which receivers are appointed has very substantially diverged from that in Australia. The Personal Property Securities Act 1999, in force from 1 May 2002, generally follows North American models and bears little resemblance to Australian enactments governing registration and priority of security interests.
Additionally there have been significant amendments to the Receiverships Act and the Companies Act, which came into force on 1 November 2007. There is also a new Property Law Act 2007, in force from 1 January 2008, which has amended both the other statutes and the Personal Property Securities Act. This book deals specifically with New Zealand law.
