Lustrum book ‘CERIL Collection I’ presented at CERIL Conference

At the CERIL Conference on Harmonisation of EU Insolvency Law, which took place on Thursday 20 and Friday 21 April, the first book of the CERIL Collection Series was officially presented. The book presents the results of CERIL’s work in the last five years as an independent and impartial European think tank on restructuring and insolvency law.

‘CERIL Collection I: Improving European Restructuring and Insolvency Law’ marks CERIL’s first lustrum and compiles all Statements and Reports published between the years of 2017-2022, which are the fruits of collective and active thinking of many restructuring and insolvency experts that are involved in CERIL.

Prof. Reinout Vriesendorp introduced the work performed by CERIL in the last years, and the importance of this book including the results of already 12 projects. He highlighted how various Statements and Reports have contributed to the further development of EU case law. They have been cited and/or quoted by legislators and policy makers, academics as well as by judges in case law. At the CERIL Conference, Prof. em. Bob Wessels, CERIL Chair, presented the first copies of the book to Justice Sacha Prechal (Court of Justice of the European Union, who also decided on the “Heiploeg” case) and Mr. Giorgio Corno (founding member of CERIL, Italy). 

CERIL Collection I

From 2017 up to 2022, the Conference on European Restructuring and Insolvency Law (CERIL) has adopted 12 Reports and Statements which concern salient topics in the area of European restructuring and insolvency law. In those Reports and Statements, CERIL promotes long-term improvements in restructuring and insolvency frameworks across Europe. This book compiles these analyses and recommendations – resulting from extensive dialogues among CERIL Conferees – to the EU legislator, EU Member States’ national legislators, policy makers, standard-setting organizations and research centres.

This book collects diverse state-of-the-art recommendations for improving European restructuring and insolvency laws, based on CERIL’s primary purpose to advise on technical and policy issues relating to restructuring and insolvency laws, regulation and practice, and any related laws. It also comprehensively discusses actual topics which are lacking in today’s legal frameworks and a must-read for policymakers, scholars and students interested in the cutting edge and wide-ranging issues in insolvency and restructuring that help shape the future legal order.
