The Law of Company
Insolvency
MICHAEL FORDE
'This book should not be on the shelves of
every practitioner but on their desks as it is
an extremely worthwhile and practical guide
to the complex law of insolvency. Dr Forde
has produced a most readable text and his
knowledge of his subject is well displayed in
the level and research of cases decided in the
U.K. and elsewhere, including the USA. For
many years practitioners have had to soldier
on without the benefit of such a text. I
believe that practitioners and their advisers
will be all the better for the availability of
this book. None of them should be without
it'John Donnelly,
Deloitte& Touche.
'The book is a vital and welcome addition to
the library of any insolvency practitioner or
lawyer, or indeed to any accountant who
requires to advise his clients on any aspect of
corporate insolvency' Austin Power,
Accountancy

Ireland and the Law of
the Sea
CLIVE SYMMONS
This book examines the law relating to the
extent of internal coastal waters; fishery
jurisdiction; the definition and extent of the
continental shelf; activities of foreign
warships — particularly submerged sub-
marines — in the Irish Sea; coastal State
control over migratory fish such as salmon;
marine pollution; and the whole question of
maritime boundaries around Ireland, both
in respect of the continental shelf and 200-
mile fishery zones. This latter problem now
extends beyond the Anglo-Irish context,
and embraces more distant neighbours than
the UK — Iceland, Denmark and even
potentially France.

Criminal Responsibility
F INBARR McAULEY

with the boundaries of the concept of
criminal responsibility' Dr Malcolm
