Inside the volume
A working book, not a souvenir.
This is the first edition of the first major Ugandan textbook on insolvency law since the Insolvency Act, 2011. It covers general principles, bankruptcy, corporate rescue, liquidation, cross-border insolvency and the legal regime governing insolvency practitioners.
The edition examines the latest case law from Uganda and other common-law jurisdictions — notably the United Kingdom — together with the Insolvency (Amendment) Act, 2022 and the Companies (Amendment) Act, 2022.
Practitioners will find the statutory scheme set out with the authorities that actually move a Ugandan court. Students will find a narrative that does not assume they have already sat through a London LLM. The bench will find a text that treats Ugandan insolvency as a subject in its own right, not an appendix to company law.
