La tesi di dottorato si propone di analizzare i rapporti processuali intercorrenti tra arbitrato e procedure concorsuali (in particolare, fallimento e concordato preventivo) alla luce delle recenti riforme intervenute in materia, senza trascurare una prospettiva comparativa. ; The dissertation focuses on the relationships between arbitration and insolvency proceedings (particularly, bankruptcy and arrangements with creditors) in the light of the recent legislation on the matter, in a procedural and comparative perspective.
This article reports the results of a comparative empirical legal study that analyzed (1) strategic behaviour by actors in insolvencies that is salient to insolvency judges and (2) how insolvency judges respond to such behaviour. After examining four different European countries, namely Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, and Portugal, the study reveals how differences regarding case allocation, judge – insolvency practitioner (IP) interaction, and remuneration and case financing can result in strategic behaviour on both the side of the judges and the IPs. From this, it follows that improving the efficiency and effectiveness is not merely a matter of implementing legislation and case law, but that it also requires a look into the dynamics between insolvency judges, IPs, and other actors in the insolvency process.
