| Innhold: | The article discusses one of the most fundamental aspects of corporate law, namely the intersection between company law and insolvency law, with specific regard to the recent EU Directive on Preventive Restructuring (EU 2019/1023, the ‘Restructuring Directive’ or ‘Directive’)2. It notes the forthcoming implementation of the Directive in the EU Member States. The key options for implementation of the Directive available to European legislators are introduced, including an option based on company law which, according to the recent LL.D.dissertation of the coauthor, would provide more tools for restructurings than are available under the frame works based on insolvency law. This would create efficient mechanisms in particular for the preventive restructuring of solvent companies, but also for the completion of a friendly takeover of a publiclylisted company through a scheme of arrangement under company law. The scheme of arrangement mechanism has also been included in the recently published European Model Company Act.
