This chapter considers the recognition of insolvency proceedings and the enforcement of the rights and powers of liquidators under the Regulation. In the UK, the position of foreign insolvency practitioners depends upon the degree of recognition or judicial assistance available. Recognition involves giving direct effect to a foreign law, to an order of a foreign court, or the foreign legal status of a foreign administrator or representative. The chapter also describes the recognition of insolvency proceedings and their enforcement, and powers of insolvency practitioners under the RR, who have substantially ‘amplified’ their rights and powers in two ways. First, more detailed provision has been made in relation to the duty of cooperation and coordination in cases where both main and secondary proceedings have been opened in different Member States. Secondly, a new set of rules has been implemented relating to cooperation and communication in proceedings concerning groups of companies.
