A chapter in Viability in Corporate Debt Restructuring Law, 2025, pp 1-5 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: This book constitutes the first holistic and comprehensive analysis of corporate debt restructuring law through the prism of viability. Viability has been a largely unexplored notion in European and English scholarship, while in the US, where it has received more attention, there has not yet been any holistic and systematic examination of the Chapter 11 provisions through the prism of viability. Yet, the notion is of pivotal importance given it determines which debtors are worth being rescued. Against this background, the book conducts an in-depth examination of Chapter 11, English restructuring frameworks and the European Directive to uncover, critically evaluate and make suggestions for the optimal reflection of viability in their provisions, and consequently the increased ‘filtering efficiency’ of such frameworks. These suggestions can provide invaluable guidance for both the upcoming review of the European Directive in 2026 and the ongoing development of American and English restructuring law.
