A THEMATIC AND COMPARATIVE CRITIQUE

Abstract

This peer-reviewed and edited collection of chapters sets out to detail and analyse how the different national insolvency law systems treat the matter of executory contracts. When a business becomes insolvent, that does not necessarily bring an end to the contracts that business had previously entered into but are pending performance. While the subject matter is not new, more and more jurisdictions are having to continue to evolve and reform their legal responses to the subject matter in the light of the practical and conceptual difficulties a less than flexible approach throws up. There are no easy solutions, it would appear.
