✦ Synopsis
The objrct of this Evaluation is for cach of us here on the platform to try to distil from what emcrgcd in yesterday's discussion something which will be of value to UNCITRAL in its rfforts to promote an international bankruptcy convention.
Gerold Herrmann said in his opening remarks that he wished to proceed on two tracks -judicial co-operation and a convention for arress and recognition. A possible third track, a modrl code, was realistically postponed tn a later date.
During the morning, we had several case studies ofjudicial co-operation, more or less, in very large cases. What struck me listening to them was how little those stories added to the perception which Mr Justice Houlden shared with us in his opening remarks, namely, that he had invariably found judgcs in foreign courts friendly, co-operative and wishing to help. How far they could actually help was a matter that depcnded upon their own legal systems.
