Bankruptcy in Crisis - A Regency Saga: Part 3 - The Bankruptcy Bar

Abstract

The first two articles in our Bankruptcy in Crisis - A Regency Saga series1 outlined some of the major bankruptcy issues that arose during the early 19th century. We also met the principal law reporters of bankruptcy cases and the three Lord Chancellors whose judgments fill their pages. It is now time to turn our attention to the Vice-Chancellors, along with a few of the barristers who habitually appeared in front of them.
