Updated to reflect recent case law and modifications to the EU Insolvency Regulation, this book is a primer that covers jurisdictional issues, "winding-up" procedures such as the appointment of a liquidator, recognition of judgments, creditors' rights and other provisions. Written by Prof. Bob Wessels of University of Leiden Law School in the Netherlands, this book is an invaluable resource for professionals who find themselves increasingly involved in cross-border insolvency cases.
