The Unique Aspects Of International Bankruptcy Disputes
Cross-border bankruptcy cases present their own set of issues, such as:
- Jurisdiction: Determining where the primary case occurs, and which laws apply can be both challenging and deeply impactful
- Cross-border insolvency laws: Countries and international organizations have put many rules and guidelines forward regarding international bankruptcy matters, including the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law’s Model Law on Cross-Border Insolvency, the United States’ Chapter 15 and the European Union’s Recast Insolvency Regulations
- Locating assets: Addressing the unique challenges that come when a debtor’s assets are spread out globally
- Enforcement: Understanding your options for enforcing judgments from one country’s court in other jurisdictions
Properly addressing such issues can be critical when you are involved in an international bankruptcy litigation case.
