Bringing together leading commentators at the forefront of the topic, this book delivers wide-ranging coverage of the history, theory, practice and potential reform of the floating charge. They examine floating charges from diverse approaches including ‘black letter’, socio-legal, law and economics, and comparative perspectives.
