Summary
Cross-border insolvencies between EU and third countries are a common phenomenon in business, but only marginally addressed by EU law. Is it time for the EU to adopt a regulatory instrument to address this topic? Which role might UNCITRAL play in this context? The present volume provides structured insights, exploring classic cross-border insolvency topics such as universality and territoriality, recognition of foreign proceedings, rules for domestic proceedings etc.), but also addresses frontier issues like ADR and new technologies in cross-border insolvency. The book gathers the reflections of 32 top global experts in international insolvency law from 19 EU and non-EU countries and develops reflections for further legislative action. This title is also available as Open Access.
