European Insolvency Law
Ondernemingsrecht
Lecture 1: Determining the competent court. The concept of COMI under the European Insolvency Regulation, recast (EIR Recast).
Lecturers: Prof. Bob Wessels, Ilya Kokorin LLM (Leiden University)
Experts: Daphne Beunk (the Netherlands) and Chiara Lunetti (Italy)
The first lecture in the series of "European Insolvency Law" introduces the European Insolvency Regulation (recast) (EIR Recast), the major legal instrument of direct binding nature, regulating selected issues of international insolvency at the European level. The lecturers will cover the historical background of the EIR Recast, its scope and general mode of operation. The focus will be on the issue of international insolvency jurisdiction and the concept of the centre of main interest (COMI), which determines the international jurisdiction for the opening of main insolvency proceedings. The allocation of COMI is of significant practical importance, as it usually indicates the law applicable to insolvency proceedings. The experts signal practical problems for practitioners and courts in their domestic jurisdiction.
COMI is a problematic legal norm. In practice, around half of the court cases and a large number of disputes arise from the application of the concept of COMI. This is why it is of practical relevance to start with it and cover it in sufficient depth and detail. The lecture will do so and supply answers to the following questions:
- Can a Dutch court open insolvency proceedings against an English (German, French, etc.) company?
- Can a Dutch company fall under insolvency proceedings in the UK (Germany, France, etc.)?
- What are the conditions for the opening of insolvency proceedings under the EIR Recast? What is the role of the court? Can a court’s decision be appealed?
- Can there be several insolvency proceedings opened against the same company, running in parallel with each other in two or more EU member states?
