Case Study on Cross-Border Insolvency and Rescue Law: An Analysis of the Future of European Integration

Abstract

This article examines the latest European initiatives in the area of cross-border insolvency and rescue law. In this respect, it assesses these developments against the background of the need for further harmonisation within the European Union (EU), generally advocated as a prerequisite for the smooth functioning of the European Single Market. The general aim of this article is to use the field of European cross-border insolvency and rescue law as a case study to determine which integration model is the most adequate at this stage of European integration.
