The book, edited by Karen Harmsen and Alice van der Schee, builds on the seminal work of A.L. Leuftink published in 1995. Contributions from various specialists in the field address topics such as the role of creditors and administrators, the criteria for court confirmation and the legal effects of a confirmed composition agreement.
Houthoff is closely involved in the development of this area of law and has, in recent years, acted in various capacities in several landmark surseance van betaling proceedings, including those of Steinhoff and DSB N.V. Through this publication, Karien and Joost contribute to the further development of legal scholarship in a field that continues to evolve, not least under the influence of European legislation.
