International Bankruptcy in Spain

Abstract

International Bankruptcy Law is a very trendy topic. Many countries have reformed their national Acts seeking to adapt them to the current economic situation. Also Spain did this some years ago. The New Spanish Bankruptcy Act of 2003 includes some rules on International Bankruptcy. These rules are directly linked to the EU Regulation on cross-border insolvency and depend on it. The article analyze in depth solutions embodied in the Act and their -not always easy- relationship with the Regulation. Something that happens in some other EU Member States.
