Introduction

Brexit has made profound changes to insolvency proceedings with a cross-border element encompassing the United Kingdom or any EU Member State.

It has altered everything from the prescribed content of bankruptcy/winding up petitions to the recognition by Member States of insolvency proceedings opened in the United Kingdom, and vice versa.

It is vital for any litigator or insolvency practitioner to understand how cross-border insolvency proceedings might operate in a post-Brexit world.

This new webinar will provide a summary of the pre-Brexit position and explain what has changed.

It will explore initial areas of uncertainty which have since been resolved, with reference to authorities such as Re Greensill Bank AG (a company incorporated in Germany, in insolvency administration) and Re Mederco (Cardiff) Ltd (09477164) Duffy and another v Mederco (Cardiff) Ltd.

Finally, it will look to the future and highlight the questions which remain for litigators and insolvency practitioners alike.
