The youngest volume of the renowned series of European Commentaries edited by Ulrich Magnus and Peter Mankowski covers the European Insolvency Regulation. This Regulation in its recast version of 2015 is of great practical importance. It primarily regulates when courts in the EU are competent to deal with insolvency proceedings which have transborder effects, which law is applicable in such proceedings, the conditions under which insolvency proceedings are to be recognized in other EU States and how courts and insolvency practitioners should cooperate in transborder situations. The Commentary provides an in-depth presentation and discussion of each article and pays particular attention to the insolvency decisions of the European Court of Justice but also to national case law. The team of authors is as well truly European. It is formed of outstanding experts from all over Europe.
