    Brexit: Restructuring and Insolvency
    2017-02-16

    Issues will arise upon a UK exit in relation to restructuring tools such as schemes of arrangement and in relation to insolvency processes; there are also special EU insolvency rules for financial institutions which will be affected. Finally there are elements of EU financial services laws which impinge on insolvencies and remove uncertainties, such as settlement finality and financial collateral.

    BREXIT: charting a new course

    New preventive restructuring frameworks
    2017-03-01

    Background

    The EU-Commission is planning a European wide pre-insolvency (preventive) restructuring procedure in order to harmonise pre-insolvency proceedings within the EU, thus strengthening the EU domestic and capital markets, bringing clarity to cross-border transactions, and preventing forum-shopping.

    At the end of 2016, the European Parliament issued a proposed directive (COM (2016)723/30/EU) in this regard (Directive Proposal).

    La Cour rappelle qu’il y a des limites au droit à l’oubli
    2017-03-14

    Le cas est suffisamment rare pour être souligné : la justice européenne – celle-là même qui a milité et créé le droit à l’oubli – envoie un signal fort en vue de rappeler que celui-ci n’est pas absolu. Saisie d’une question impliquant les registres publics des personnes morales, elle estime qu’il n’y a en principe pas de droit à l’oubli pour les données à caractère personnel y figurant.

Led by Philip Hertz (Clifford Chance), Lucas Kortmann (RESOR), Angel Martin (KPMG) and Dr Leo Plank (Kirkland & Ellis) discussed processes available in the UK, the Netherlands, Spain and Germany and some impending changes.
