This study surveys comparatively the insolvency regimes currently in place or likely to be adopted in the foreseeable future in Canada,the United States, Australia, England and Wales, Scotland, Scandinavia and a representative group of Western countries on the continent of Europe. Modern legal systems have two basic alternatives in providing relief for over-committed consumers. The first, which involves restricting the enforcement of individual creditor remedies is a method with which this study is not concerned. Where the consumer is seriously insolvent and owes money to many creditors, a different approach is required -- a collective solution to debtor's problems - and this, the solution provided by modern insolvency systems, is the focus of this studyBankruptcyConsumer protection lawBankruptcyCanadaConsumer creditLaw and legislationConsumer creditLaw and legislationCanadaElectronic books.Bankruptcy.BankruptcyConsumer creditLaw and legislation.Consumer creditLaw and legislation343.71037346.71073Ziegel Jacob S.506104UtOrBLWUtOrBLWUkLoBPBOOK9910451414803321Comparative consumer insolvency regimes1035660UNINA
