    The effect of German insolvency proceedings on international arbitration
    2010-07-20

    The impact of insolvency proceedings on arbitral proceedings is becoming an increasingly important consideration for parties. Two scenarios can be generally envisioned: (i) a company files for insolvency while it is engaged in arbitral proceedings; or (ii) arbitral proceedings are initiated after insolvency proceedings have commenced. In both scenarios, the parties need to assess how the insolvency proceeding affects the arbitral proceedings. This article assesses the impact of insolvency proceedings initiated in Germany on foreign arbitral proceedings.

    Deutsches Insolvenzrecht - Übersicht zum Insolvenzanfechtungsrecht German Insolvency Law - Overview of Insolvency Challenge Rights
    2017-04-20

    Um die Insolvenzmasse zu erhöhen, ermöglicht das Insolvenzanfechtungsrecht dem Insolvenzverwalter, unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen auf Werte zuzugreifen, derer sich der Schuldner vor der Stellung des Antrags auf Eröffnung des Insolvenzverfahrens zu Lasten einzelner oder aller Gläubiger entäußert hat. The insolvency challenge rights give the insolvency administrator, under certain prerequisites, access to assets which the debtor disposed of to the detriment of the creditors prior to the filing for insolvency, thus increasing the insolvency estate.
