Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Current Issues in European Financial and Insolvency Law: Perspectives from France and the UK by Edited by Wolf-Georg Ringe Edited by Prof. Louise Gullifer Edited by Philippe Thery Contributions by John Armour Contributions by Professor Hugh Beale Contributions by Regis Blazy Contributions
Recent case-law and legislation in European company and insolvency law have significantly furthered the integration of European business regulation. In particular the case-law of the European Court of Justice and the introduction of the EU Insolvency Regulation have provided the stimulus for current reforms in various jurisdictions in the fields of insolvency and financial law. The UK for instance has adopted the Enterprise Act in 2002 designed inter alia to enhance enterprise and to strengthen the UKs approach to bankruptcy and corporate rescue. In a similar vein a recent reform in France has modernised French insolvency law and even introduced a tool similar to the successful English company voluntary arrangement (CVA). This book provides a collection of studies by some of the leading English and French experts today analysing current perspectives of insolvency and financial law in Europe both on the national as well as on the European level.show more
