Download or read book The Future of Cross border Insolvency written by Irit Mevorach and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh and insightful guide to post-financial crisis cross-border insolvency, this book interrogates the current regime and sets out a framework for improving its future. In recent decades, and especially since the global financial crisis, a number of important initiatives have focused on developing the mechanisms for managing the insolvency of multinational enterprises and financial institutions. The book considers the effectiveness of the current system and identifies the gaps that could be bridged by adopting certain strategies and tools, to improve the system further. The book first discusses the theoretical debate regarding cross-border insolvency and surveys the strengths and weaknesses of the prevailing method-modified universalism-in its application to both commercial entities and financial institutions, consequently identifying a single set of emerging norms. The book argues that adhering to these norms more robustly would enhance global welfare and produce the best outcomes for businesses and institutions. By drawing upon sources from international law as well as behavioural and economic theory, the book offers a blueprint for meeting the demands of future cross-border insolvencies. It considers how to translate modified universalism into binding international law and how to choose the right instrument for cross-border insolvency as well as the impact that instrument design has on decisions and choices. It explores how to encourage compliance and proposes mechanisms that could potentially overcome, or at least take into account, behavioural biases in decision-making.

Download or read book Cross Border Insolvency written by Neil Hannan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effect of the adoption of the United Nations Committee on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency in five common law jurisdictions, namely Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. It examines how each of those states has adopted, interpreted and applied the provisions of the Model Law, and highlights the effects of inconsistencies by examining jurisprudence in each of these countries, specifically how the Model Law affects existing principles of recognition of insolvency proceedings. The book examines how the UNCITRAL Guide to enactment of the Model Law has affected the interpretation of each of its articles and, in turn, the courts’ ability to interpret and hence give effect to the purposes of the Model Law. It also considers the ability of courts to refer to amendments made to the Guide after enactment of the Model Law in a state, thereby questioning whether the current inconsistencies in interpretation can be overcome by UNCITRAL amending the Guide.

Download or read book Time to Renew the Debate on Cross Border Insolvency Law written by Emilie Ghio and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last couple of decades, academics have vigorously debated which approach to cross-border insolvency is best. The debate usually centers on questions of predictability, certainty, national sovereignty, fairness and efficiency. In this academic discourse over the most appropriate design for an international insolvency system, two theoretical approaches have traditionally been identified: these are universalism and territorialism. Universalism means that one jurisdiction should administer the insolvency proceedings and the debtor's assets should be dealt with on a worldwide basis. Since universalism requires a single law to be applied, it goes hand in hand with harmonisation of insolvency law, both procedural and substantive. The most eloquent 8 and effective proponent of universalism in the last decade has been Professor Jay Westbrook. Territorialism on the other hand means that any State in which the debtor's assets are located has jurisdiction to open insolvency proceedings, applying its own domestic insolvency law to distribute the assets for the benefit of local creditors. In the most recent past Professor Lynn LoPucki has traditionally been the main advocate for a territorialist insolvency system.Even though it has widely been accepted in academic literature that universalism is preferable, the reality of the international insolvency scene is quite different. As noted by Professor Ian Fletcher, the substantive differences in domestic insolvency laws have precluded the development of a uniform approach to multinational default: “[t]he ensuing diversity of [insolvency laws] has been unusually intense, even by the standards of private international law, with the result that the quest for unifying principles has so far proved to be elusive.” 9 As a matter of fact, if universalism has been advocated as the ideal solution to the issue of cross-border insolvencies, it is now also accepted that it is an unreasonable objective in the foreseeable future. Recent international developments, such as the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency and the European Insolvency Regulation, show that it has largely been discarded and replaced by a more reasonable, grounded approach, trying to achieve solutions which, although more modest than the initial goal of universalism, are also more achievable in the present circumstances.

Book excerpt: This book provides an analysis and comparison of international insolvency rules, maritime laws and their inevitable intersection in maritime cross-border insolvencies.

In 2010, the Comité Maritime International installed an international working group on international maritime insolvencies and until today it is work in progress. This book gives an overview on maritime insolvencies, with a focus on Germany, England & Wales and the USA, and assesses the chances of achieving meaningful harmonization in the complex scenarios, where ships as mobile assets add a further complication to international insolvency proceedings.
