Session 3: Academic Colloquium (Cross-Border Insolvency and Voidable Transactions)
There are significant differences in format and underpinning policies in respect of transaction avoidance provisions around the world. These differences may have practical effect in the insolvencies of companies or individuals with transnational dealings in more than one country. The insolvency laws of more than one jurisdiction may be invoked where for instance there may be concurrent rescue procedures of if the debtor company is wound up in more than one country. In addition, cross-border litigation involving voidable transactions may arise. Our panel of expert academics will examine the issues that stem from cross-border voidable transactions.
