Takings for Climate Justice and Resilience
2024 || Paperback || M. Habdas e.a. || Eleven international publishing

The Intoxication of Force
when enforcement undermines compliance
2017 || Paperback || Sharon Oded || Eleven international publishing

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. In recent years, the legislative efforts have shifted towards harmonization of substantive insolvency law at a European level. The most defining characteristic of this harmonization attempt is the focus on reorganization instead of li...
