54 It is a bit surprising that, despite many references to English authorities throughout, the book did not mention some key developments such as Exeter City Council v Bairstow [2007] EWHC 400 (Ch), [2007] 2 BCLC 455; Buchler v Talbot [2004] UKHL 9, [2004] 2 AC 298; and s 176ZA of the Insolvency Act 1986. It would be a lot more helpful if the table of cases and statutory materials contained cross-references to specific pages in the book.
