A Who’s Who of international scholars of bankruptcy law have come together to compile a Festschrift honoring the work of Jay Lawrence Westbrook, one of the most prominent professors of bankruptcy law. Jay is not just the father—perhaps grandfather—of modern cross-border insolvency theory, but a pioneer (along with his co-authors Teresa A. Sullivan and Elizabeth Warren) of empirical research in commercial law. The volume collects the papers presented at “JayFest,” the 2018 celebration of Jay’s work in Austin co-sponsored by the University of Texas Law School, the Texas Law Review, and the world’s premier bankruptcy organization, the International Insolvency Institute.

Now in its fourth edition, the Wieczorek/Schütze legal commentary is a virtual institution in the field of civil procedure. This fourteen-volume guide once again sets the standard for legal reference works. Based on solid legal scholarship, it comprehensively considers practical requirements and needs in relation to civil procedure. The authorial team, which is composed of 33 legal scholars and practitioners – including several new younger members – ensures that the commentary remains true to its rich traditions, but at the same time is up-to-date for current and future needs. In addition to German civil procedure, the commentary addresses relevant supplementary laws in Germany (e.g. EGZPO, GVG, KapMuG, and MediationsG), as well as European and international civil procedure. The commentary also takes into consideration relevant legal changes as well as the newest developments in case law and legal teaching. Here you find an overview of all fourteen volumes.Take a closer look at the extract of volume 12 §§ 1067-1109; Internationales Zivilprozessrecht; Rechtsquellen und Materialien.

Die Kommentierung umfasst neben der Zivilprozessordnung auch die relevanten Nebengesetze (wie EGZPO, GVG, KapMuG und MediationsG) sowie das europäische und internationale Zivilprozessrecht. Selbstverständlich sind alle relevanten Gesetzesänderungen sowie die neuesten Entwicklungen in Rechtsprechung und Lehre berücksichtigt.

Auch wenn das Thema - naturgemäß - bereits viel diskutiert und beschrieben worden ist, eröffnen sich doch neue Aspekte, wenn man mit strikter Konzentration auf eine rechtshistorische Betrachtungsweise den geschriebenen Text analysiert. Genau das tut der vorliegende Band und kommt zu dem geradezu zwangsläufigen Ergebnis, dass Jesus im völligen Einklang mit den Regeln des römischen Straf- und Prozessrechts verurteilt worden ist. Überspitzt formuliert, wäre ihm das gleiche Schicksal widerfahren, wenn er nicht in Jerusalem, sondern irgendwo sonst im Römischen Reich angeklagt worden wäre.

Das vorliegende Lehrbuch stellt eine kompakte, umfassende und insbesondere für Studenten bestens geeignete Präsentation des für das Studium erforderlichen Stoffes dar.

The European Directive (Directive (EU) 2019/1023 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2020 on preventive restructuring frameworks, on discharge of debts and disqualification, and on measures to increase the efficiency of procedures concerning restructuring, insolvency and discharge of debt) has to be transposed into national legislation by 26 June 2021.The main features of the Directive are:- the obligatory making available of early warning systems;- the obligatory creation of an insolvency avoidance mechanism;- the determination of certain insolvency related officers’ duties;- the uniformisation of discharge rules among member states; and- measures to increase the national insolvency laws’ efficiencyIn this book a team of European-wide recognised, experienced insolvency law experts, some of whom had been involved in the drafting process of the Directive, analyse the Directive. The authors focus not only on the officials tasked in the national surroundings with drafting the national statutes but also on the wider implications which, one way or the other, will be national law. The commentary, thus, serves also the purposes of practitioners and judges in the field of restructuring.
