Abstract

This article aims to analyse, albeit briefly, the main and secondary insolvency proceedings in light of Regulation (EU) n.º 2015/848 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2015, on insolvency proceedings, by studying the provisions of the Regulation on this subject and some case law, not only of the Court of Justice of the European Union, but also of the Portuguese High Courts on the same subject. After a short introduction to the aforementioned Regulation and its antecedents, with curtly references to cross-border insolvencies, we will address the provisions of the Regulation regarding the subject of main and secondary insolvency proceedings, mentioning, whenever relevant, the case law. We will also succinctly examine the legal provisions of the CIRE on the subject. We will end with brief conclusions on the topics mentioned.
