The aim of this course is to examine current problems and trends in the law of corporate insolvency, with particular reference to cross-border transactions and international harmonisation. Attention focuses on European Union regimes but with comparison to developments elsewhere such as the USA, the People’s Republic of China, and UNCITRAL. Topics include choice of insolvency regime (important for multinational companies), creditor protection mechanisms, and corporate rescue.
