going to be increasingly stress tested.
Jersey is fortunate to benefit from sophisticated and robust
legislation which can fairly balance the often competing interests
of creditors who might want their money now and shareholders who
might prefer to explore whether the business can continue and
ultimately offer better returns to its stakeholders.
