Johannes Henke analyzes German and English law with reference to the selection and the supervision of the corporate insolvency practitioner. He deals with the reform efforts of both legal systems and draws conclusions for improving the practice of insolvency law in Germany.

Cases of abuse and breach of trust in insolvency proceedings, increasing competition among insolvency practitioners, the creditors' relatively low participation in the proceedings as well as the increasing relocation of insolvency proceedings to other countries (mainly to England) are burning issues. These facts have prompted Johannes Henke to study the effectiveness of control mechanisms applied to the corporate insolvency practitioners. He analyzes German and English law with reference to the selection and the supervision of the corporate insolvency practitioner. In his comparative study, the author deals with the reform efforts of both legal systems and draws conclusions for improving the practice of insolvency law in Germany.
