The book expertly steers the reader through the complex interactions between national and supra-national rules, international model laws, and the principles that underpin them.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
'This book is expertly and clearly written by one of the leading experts in the field. The language is technical but not difficult, and people approaching this field for the first time will have no difficulty in understanding the basics of the subjects covered in its eight chapters. The book comes as highly recommended for those who conduct research on this topic for the first time and/or who would like to enrich their knowledge by referring to key cases and other publications in the area.' -- Eugenio Vaccari, International Company and Commercial Law Review 'This latest addition to the very impressive oeuvre of Prof. Reinhard Bork in the field of (cross-border) insolvency law provides a comprehensive, clear and convincing treatise of issues relevant in a cross-border insolvency context. Bork addresses matters of jurisdiction, applicable law, recognition, cooperation and coordination, secondary proceedings, the position of foreign creditors in domestic proceedings and group insolvencies on the basis of both the European Insolvency Regulation and the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency. It is a "must read" for everyone working in or studying insolvency law. I am convinced that it will find its way to and benefit practitioners and scholars around the globe.' -- P.M. (Michael) Veder, Radboud University, the Netherlands
