About Employee Rights in Bankruptcy 2002....
Employee Rights in Bankruptcy (2002), part of the Bulletin of Comparative Labour Relations series, provides a rigorous comparative examination of how bankruptcy and insolvency law interact with employee protections. Edited by A.T.J.M. Jacobs and Roger Blanpain, the volume gathers contributions from legal scholars across multiple jurisdictions, analysing topics such as priority of wage claims, employee representation in insolvency proceedings, pension rights, transfer of undertakings, and the role of guarantee institutions. The book situates national rules within broader European and international frameworks, highlighting divergences and convergence in protecting workers when employers become insolvent. It is a scholarly reference rather than a practitioner's manual, offering doctrinal depth and comparative insight. Published in 2002, it remains a valuable historical and analytical resource for understanding the legal tensions between labour rights and creditor claims, and for tracing the development of insolvency-related employment protection.
