Abstract/Description:

This Introduction is designed to draw on the rich materials the national reports have produced and to reach some preliminary findings on the study. In particular, it suggests that despite the policy concerns about reorganisation, rescue and the preservation of value in the context of executory contracts, the legal rules can in themselves lead to results which may not sit well with the policy objectives.
