  • McCormack G (2011) Secured Credit and the Harmonisation of Law Edward Elgar

    This is a very timely book that addresses an important subject, namely, attempts to harmonise the law governing secured transactions.

  • McCormack G (2008) Corporate Rescue Law - An Anglo-American Perspective pp. 1 - 307 Edward Elgar Publishing

    This book offers and unprecedented and detailed comparative critique of Anglo-American corporate bankruptcy law. It challenges the standard characterisation that US law in the sphere of corporate bankruptcy is 'pro-debtor' and UK law is 'pro-creditor', and suggests that the traditional thesis is, at best, a potentially misleading over-simplification. I conclude that there is some functional convergence in practice, while acknowledging that corporate rescue, as distinct from business rescue, still plays a larger role in the US. The focus is on corporate restructurings with in-depth scrutiny of Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code and the UK Enterprise Act.
