Programme

Our esteemed panel of judges will inter alia discuss the following issues (under the wider theme of forum shopping and challenges in the recognition of insolvency proceedings) from the standpoint of their individual jurisdictions: 
•    The legitimacy of forum shopping as a general principle.
•    Forum shopping and the public policy exception as a ground for refusing recognition.
•    The factors and criteria taken into consideration by the judiciary in common law jurisdictions (as opposed to civil law jurisdictions) when faced with issues around forum shopping. 
•    Practical problems associated with applications for recognition in the case of groups of companies.
•    EU and non-EU companies and the shifting of COMI to facilitate restructurings*.
