This second edition of Commentary on the European Insolvency Regulation expands upon what has become a widely cited work on the recast EU Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings. It incorporates important developments in the case law since the Regulation was recast in 2015, as well as other significant updates. As with the first edition, it provides a detailed article-by-article commentary on the Regulation, written by a group of expert scholars and practitioners from a range of European jurisdictions. Drawing on a rich body of CJEU and national case law, as well as scholarly developments, analysis of the Regulation is accompanied by a chapter explaining the background to the Regulation's enactment and recasting, identifying its key features, and examining the relationship between the Regulation and new European Restructuring Directive. As well as retaining the distinctive features of the first edition--the multi-jurisdictional focus of the expert contributors, and in-depth examination of the legislative provision and case law --the second edition offers new analysis of issues that have arisen since the publication of the first edition in 2016, including updates on the impact of Brexit and the passage of the European Restructuring Directive in 2019. This edition of Commentary on the European Insolvency Regulation is therefore a key new work for all those who advise or research on the topic of European insolvency law.

This book analyses recent developments in English corporate restructuring law from a range of comparative and theoretical perspectives, exploring some of the most difficult aspects of the design of domestic restructuring laws and their application in cross-border cases.Recent reforms to English law took place against the backdrop of corporate restructuring law reform initiatives in Europe and in many other regions of the world. These reforms reflect an emerging consensus as to the importance of such laws, both as a complement to macroeconomic stabilisation tools in times of extraordinary crisis, and as a determinant of investment conditions in more ordinary times. But it is one thing to recognise the importance of such laws in the abstract, and quite another to work out precisely how corporate restructuring rules should be designed.This book explores some of the most complex aspects of designing such rules. It does so through the close analysis of the changes made by the enactment of the Corporate Insolvency and Governance Act 2020 (UK), and the interpretation of the new statutory provisions by the courts. Authors also draw on examples from other jurisdictions to analyse choices made in the UK, and in some cases offer separate evaluation of restructuring law reform processes outside the UK, including in select jurisdictions in the EU and in Africa, and in the US.By drawing on experiences in other jurisdictions, the book casts new light on recent developments in English law, suggesting many avenues for further research and a range of implications for policymakers. An introductory chapter by the editors introducing the landmark 2020 reforms provides a detailed synopsis of each chapter of the book, drawing out connections between them, and articulates some themes that run through the chapters that are salient for policymakers.
