    What will be the impact of Brexit on insolvency proceedings ?
    2016-10-05

    The consequences for cross-border insolvencies will largely depend on how Brexit is implemented, but will not affect schemes of arrangement

    Foreword

    Understanding and mastering cross-border insolvency requires a thorough knowledge of the different domestic insolvency regimes, all of which have distinctive procedures and rules on jurisdiction and recognition of foreign proceedings. Creditors and debtors look for the most favourable system: in this framework, the UK insolvency system is usually considered “creditor-focused”.

    How Will Brexit Affect Debt Recovery in the UK?
    2016-08-16

    We are currently still in a lot of unknown territory; so how will our exit from the EU affect Debts here in the UK, in Europe and in other countries?

    Once the UK finalises the exit from the EU, any debts someone may have in the EU will fall into the category of similar non-EU debts in other countries, such as the United States. Whilst you can include those debts in a UK bankruptcy you are only afforded the protection from them in the UK.

    The Pension Protection Fund (PPF) is responsible for paying compensation to members of defined benefit occupational pension schemes where the scheme is in deficit on a PPF funding basis and the employer becomes insolvent. One of the criteria that must be satisfied by a scheme to enter the PPF is that the participating employer(s) suffer a "qualifying insolvency event" (QIE).
