A global company is technically insolvent. The company’s registered office is in one jurisdiction, England and Wales. However, the company has subsidiaries in numerous other jurisdictions across the globe. The company also has assets and creditors in those multiple jurisdictions. How should this troubled company be dealt with by corporate insolvency law? Should each jurisdiction keep the assets in that jurisdiction and only distribute them to creditors in that jurisdiction? Or in the alternative should the assets be remitted to other jurisdictions with different and perhaps stronger creditor claims? Should judges co-operate across borders to resolve insolvency issues? In short how should we deal with the theoretical and technical difficulties thrown up by cross-border insolvency? This LLM module attempts to answer these questions in a critical manner against the backdrop of a number of approaches which have been developed over time in a number of different jurisdictions. These approaches have included common law, statutory, and international solutions to the interesting and complex area of cross-border insolvency. The module engages in the main theoretical and policy techniques for dealing with cross-border insolvency, including territorialism and universalism. Recent case law developments such as Cambridge, HIH and Rubin are critically examined together with academic comment by leading cross-border insolvency commentators such as Chan Ho, Mevorach and Fletcher.
