Book excerpt: Commercial Law Series European Corporate Insolvency A Practical Guide Edited by Harry Rajak, Professor of Law, University of Sussex and Peter Horrocks and Joe Bannister of Lovell White Durrant In response to an expanding European market and increasing economic integration, what progress has the European Union made towards a unified insolvency regime system? The high-profile cases of BCCI and Maxwell have illustrated the dangers of cross-border corporate collapses — with no clear integrated policy emerging from Brussels how can the practitioner know which national regime will apply? Following the recent UK Paramount case, what are the implications for receivers and administrators who retained a company’s employees after their appointment? Anyone involved in pan-European insolvency will be all too aware of these issues — European Corporate Insolvency provides practical solutions from experts operating in all the key European jurisdictions on a daily basis. In addition to the country-by-country coverage, the measures that currently apply at European Union level are also analysed with future developments and draft proposals discussed. Detailed research into the rights and privileges available in the various European insolvency regimes is an essential but time-consuming task for busy practitioners — the innovative matrix index incorporated into European Corporate Insolvency is designed specifically to assist in this essential task by providing detailed comparative access to all the areas covered. Each chapter deals with: sources of insolvency law registration of companies survival of the insolvent corporation liquidation and dissolution augmenting assets public control Law/Finance
