Paper Presentation: Intent in Transactions Avoidance – A Need for Greater Certainty
Dr. Matthew Chippin will present his paper "Intent in Transactions Avoidance – A Need for Greater Certainty," followed by a brief Q&A session, and an informal social gathering.
About the Paper
Using case law and statutory analysis from England, Canada, and the United States, Dr. Chippin's paper highlights how intent-based standards in solvency transactions avoidance provisions have often produced uncertainty, inefficiency, and inconsistent application. By comparison, both the Irish Companies Act 2014, section 608, and the Canadian anti-deprivation rule offer a uniquely broad effects-based model that avoids many of these difficulties while still maintaining sensible limits.
