Title | The interpretative approach to bankruptcy law: remedying the theoretical limitations in the traditionalist and the proceduralist perspectives on corporate insolvency |
Authors | Nsubuga, H. |
Abstract | The tension between corporate rescue and employment protection laws affects both employees’ and business owners’ policy objectives on corporate insolvency. The theoretical perspectives of both the traditionalists and proceduralists have so far failed to provide a clear approach on how this tension may be balanced or remedied. This paper proposes that this tension may be remedied through interpretation, that is, by adopting Dworkin’s Interpretative Approach to Law. |
