Which law should be applied for judging the voidability of legal acts which cause damage to assets in the case of cross-border insolvencies? Sebastian Zeeck examines the three models which have been discussed up to now and rejects all three. In their stead, he suggests a new one: an alternative connection which invokes the law most favorable to avoidance, thus giving rescission better chances of success in international insolvency procedures which are, by nature, especially prone to manipulation.
