Articles 21 and 22 of the European Insolvency Regulation (reproduced for ease of reference at the foot of this page) refer to Member States' procedures for publication and registration. These procedures, and the extent to which publication or registration is mandatory, tend not to be widely known in other jurisdictions. In particular, there is no centrally coordinated reference work enabling practitioners to check Member States' requirements. This area of INSOL Europe's website - currently a work in progress - seeks to address the problem by publishing a definitive guide by Member State. We are grateful to the many colleagues around Europe who have contributed.
Whilst we are endeavouring to provide full and accurate information here, it is clear that practitioners are best advised to seek local assistance when publishing or registering in another jurisdiction either judgements opening insolvency proceedings or notice of a liquidator's appointment.
Please contact the INSOL Europe Technical Officer (technical@insol-europe.org) with amendments to, or questions or comments on this guidance.
