Abstract
The 2012 Report Transnational Insolvency: Global Principles for Co-operation in International Insolvency Cases - commissioned by The American Law Institute in conjunction with The International Insolvency Institute - annexed 23 Global Rules on Conflict-of-Laws Matters in International Insolvency Cases. These proposed Global Rules are intended to "serve as legislative recommendations" to (inter alia) promote uniformity and greater certainty in the unpredictable area of conflict of laws. This article provides a brief commentary upon the 23 proposed Global Rules from an Australian perspective (comparing the effect and intent of each rule with the current Australian conflict-of-laws position) and offers some conclusions as to the merits of the "Global Rules" initiative.
