The Italian Insolvency Law Reform

The Italian insolvency and pre-insolvency frameworks have been reformed recently (2019, due to enter into force in September 2021 but now probably in 2022). This article recalls the intense period of reforms in Italian insolvency law, started in 2005 and culminated with the new ‘Code of enterprise crisis and of insolvency’. The Code introduces new rules for court-confirmed debt restructuring agreements (similar to schemes of arrangement) and judicial composition with creditors, as well as with regard to new rules for insolvency of groups, international jurisdiction and directors’ liability. The article addresses these novelties pointing out some unresolved issues. Finally, the article touches upon the compatibility of the new law with the Directive on restructuring and insolvency (Directive 2019/1023).
