»Forum Shopping« in der Insolvenz

Exerting influence on the international jurisdiction of a court (forum shopping) and abuse of law often go hand in hand. Philipp Reuß deals with the admissibility of forum shopping attempts by debtors in cross-border insolvency proceedings. He analyses the theoretical foundations and describes the validity as well as the specific prerequisites of a prohibition of abuse of law principle in European insolvency law; an instrument which (at least partially) can be put in place against structures which are detrimental to the single market.
