Lexis+® UK (Kathy Stones) collaborated with INSOL Europe (PhD. Dr. Myriam Mailly) on a joint initiative to gather updates from selected INSOL Europe members and Country Co-ordinators, reflecting on how the new restructuring procedures introduced by EU Member States to implement Directive (EU) 2019/1023 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on preventive restructuring frameworks, on discharge of debt and disqualifications, and on measures to improve the efficiency of procedures concerning restructuring, insolvency and discharge of debt, and amending Directive (EU) 2017/1132 (the EU Directive), are being used in practice, what is operating effectively, and whether further enhancements could be made.
