    Greece, Grexit, cross-default – what is next?
    2015-07-15

    On Monday 13 July 2015 the Eurozone Finance Ministers stated that they have entered into an understanding for further funds to be made available to Greece under the rules of ESM (combined with a more or less state controlled Greek trust fund for assets to be privatized) to avoid structuring a temporary Grexit. Such understanding is conditional upon the Greek parliament passing certain legislation on 15 July 2015.

    European regulation on cross-border insolvencies recasted
    2015-07-20

    As Europe is facing a severe economic and social crisis, the European Union is taking action to promote economic recovery, boost investment and safeguard employment. The economic crisis has a direct effect on people, jobs and businesses. It has led to an increase in the number of failing businesses. In the period between 2009 and 2011, an average of 200,000 firms went bankrupt per year in the European Union. About 25% of these bankruptcies have a cross-border element. About 50 % of all new businesses do not survive the first five years of their life.

    UK exit from the EU: sector by sector - restructuring and insolvency
    2015-07-23

    The Insolvency Regulation aims to establish procedural rules on jurisdiction and applicable law in relation to insolvency proceedings, and to aid the mutual recognition of cross-border insolvency proceedings in EU Member States. It is intended to deter parties from forum shopping within the EU in relation to insolvency proceedings. However it does not seek to harmonize substantive insolvency law.

    Recast insolvency regulation: new rules and focus on cross-border restructuring
    2015-07-01

    On 20 May 2015 the recast EC Regulation on Insolvency Proceedings (2015/848) (Recast Regulation) was adopted and will apply to insolvency proceedings opened after 26 June 2017 in Member States (other than Denmark). Broader in scope than the original Regulation (1346/2000) (Regulation) it replaces, the Recast Regulation introduces new rules on centre of main interests (COMI) and secondary proceedings as well as a framework for coordinating group insolvency proceedings and better communication. Helen Anderson considers the changes of most interest to banks and other lenders.
