Directors liability in the twilight zone
2018 || Paperback || Loes Lennarts e.a. || Eleven international publishing
The legislative efforts of the European Union with respect to insolvency were, for a long time, limited to providing uniform rules of international private law on the competent court, applicable law and recognition by means of the European Insolvency Regulation.
