Abstract

The American Chapter 11 reorganisation procedure is up for revision after having served the US economy for over 30 years. At the same time, the Netherlands and many other countries are looking at Chapter 11 as an example for revising their rules on reorganisation. This conference will discuss the recent (December 2014) Report of the American Bankruptcy Institute to Study the Reform of Chapter 11  and compare it with current proposals for revision of the Dutch Bankruptcy Act.
