Abstract
Bankruptcy law in England and Wales has no underpinning written theory, being instead driven by commercial and political imperatives. Bankruptcy laws elsewhere suggest that if we drew up bankruptcy law from scratch, the law would neither be inconvenienced by lack of theory nor very different from current practice.
