Listen Later

In this episode of the ⁠International Insolvency

Institute⁠’s Global Perspectives podcast, our invited guest panelists give a critical overview of the Australian and New Zealand’s insolvency frameworks.

Our expert panelists, Professor Lynne Taylor (University of Canterbury), Dr Elizabeth Streten (Queensland University of Technology) and Dr Lézelle Jacobs (ARITA and University technology Sidney), summarized the most recent legislative and

judicial developments in Australian and New Zealand’s insolvency law.

In a lively podcast, Dr Jacobs and Dr Streten summarized the results of the enquiry launched by the Parliamentary Joint Committee (PJC) on Corporations and Financial Services. This root and branch review includes several key elements for reflection, especially as the PJC advocated for the need to re-discuss the theoretical principles and objectives underpinning corporate and personal insolvency law. Prof Taylor brought the

experience from her country (New Zealand), with several useful elements for reflection, particularly with reference to the treatment of financially distressed MSMEs and directors’ duties under New Zealand law.

NextGen’s Chairperson, ⁠Adam Crane⁠ (Baker & Partners

in the Cayman Islands), introduces this podcast, which has been moderated by NextGen Executive Committee Member Dr Eugenio Vaccari (Royal Holloway, University of London). The podcast was recorded in early December 2023, with the information correct at the time of the recording.
