• 1: Renato Mangano: What is Insolvency Law? 2: Shuguang Li: Distress, Insolvency, and the Likelihood of Insolvency 3: Jennifer Payne: Debt Restructuring Outside Formal Insolvency Proceedings 4: Johannes Richter: Formal Insolvency Proceedings 5: Edward J. Janger: Security Rights and Creditors' Priority and Ranking: Realisable Priority in Rescue 6: Reinhard Bork: Transactions Avoidance Rules 7: Renato Mangano: Directors' Duties in the Vicinity of Insolvency. Disqualification. Piercing the Veil 8: Edward J. Janger: Corporate Groups in Rescue 9: Reinhard Bork: Cross-Border Insolvency Law 10: Günter Kahlert: Aspects of Tax Law 11: Laura Carballo Piñeiro: Aspects of Labour Law

In their analysis, the eight authors from six different jurisdictions address key issues identified in corporate insolvency practice. These include, besides the question of when insolvency actually occurs, aspects such as judicial and extrajudicial restructurings, credit securities, insolvency avoidance actions, liability piercing, group insolvency law, as well as tax and labor law. Their work serves as an important driver of innovation in corporate insolvency law across many jurisdictions. The volume edited by Bork and Mangano offers an excellent entry point for this and should therefore be consulted by all corporate insolvency practitioners.
