Abstract Deliberations are in the final stages for enacting a cross‐border insolvency law in India based on the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross Border Insolvency 1997 (‘Model Law’). The cross‐border insolvency regime in India will provide an avenue for recognising foreign insolvency proceedings in India. Although it is a matter of time before India adopts the Model Law, it is important to examine whether there remains an independent basis in addition to the Model Law for recognising and providing assistance to cross‐border insolvency proceedings in India. This is crucial on account of the following reasons: first, the Model Law does not provide that it is the exclusive pathway for foreign creditors to seek remedies under domestic law. The Model Law, as reflected in Article 7, was intended by its drafters to be an additional gateway to those provided under local laws. The proposed Indian law in Article 5 of Draft Part Z of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 also does not depart expressly from this principle. Second, there may be instances where neither the ‘Centre of Main Interests’ nor an establishment of a corporate debtor is situated in India; therefore, assistance and cooperation in respect of such cross‐border insolvency proceeding can only be based on the inherent common law jurisdiction, if available. Third, the cross‐border insolvency framework in India will be premised on the requirement for reciprocity and, therefore, countries that do not meet the reciprocity requirement may find it beneficial if such an independent basis for recognition exists in India. This article argues that foreign representatives should be encouraged to explore the possibility of seeking assistance from the commercial courts in India under the common law principles governing cross‐border insolvency and that the courts in India should be open to this possibility.

Following the work of Laurel Richardson, narratives from conversations with low-income Australians are re-presented in poetical form. It is argued that this form of re-presentation more closely resembles the teller's intent compared to other forms of narrative analysis, through the use of specific poetical devices that capture the emotional experience of the story. Narrative poetry thus enables readers to experience the teller's intent on a more visceral level, potentially encouraging greater engagement and action on the reader's behalf. Qualitative researchers require a variety of interpretive tools to suit their research intentions, and poetic re-presentation is shown to be useful if the intention is to more closely understand the lived experience of individuals living on the margins.

Retrospective clinical data from 496 eyes of 256 children attending a low vision clinic were analyzed to determine the relation between disease states which involve visual image degradation and refractive error. Refractive data from 1023 normal vision children were used as a control. The low vision children were grouped according to their disease classification and the acknowledged age‐of‐onset of their visual disability. It was found that there was an overall inability to emmetropize and a trend towards myopia. It was also observed that the diseases which led to myopia were associated with a peripheral or peripheral plus central impairment of vision and that those conditions in which foveal vision was primarily impaired showed a mild hypermetropic trend. Eyes in which the visual impairment was not congenital but occurred before the age of 3 years tended to develop hypermetropia. The deviation from emmetropia decreased with increasing age‐of‐onset of the visual impairment, as did the variation about the mean refraction. The plastic period for emmetropization is estimated to end at 8 to 9 years of age.
