Course syllabus
This course focuses on the study of the numerous institutions aimed at regulating business crises and insolvency. First of all, the course will examine the regulation of the negotiated settlement of the crisis, the arrangement with creditors and the simplified arrangement with creditors, restructuring agreements, the restructuring plan subject to approval and out-of-court solutions aimed at resolving the crisis. The course will then focus on judicial liquidation, an enforcement procedure reserved for the insolvent commercial entrepreneur, which originated in the Middle Ages in Italy under the name of bankruptcy and from there spread to the rest of Europe and the world.
Prerequisites for admission
The student must be highly motivated and interested towards the study of a rather difficult discipline, but an extremely challenging one, which, on the one hand, lies at the crossroads between civil procedure law, private law and commercial law; on the other hand, it is a very frequently applied discipline, also in cases of significant importance.
Teaching methods
The course consists of face-to-face lessons, in the context of which also the practical implications of the discipline are taken into account (with particular reference to its application to actual cases).
Teaching Resources
M. Fabiani, Sistema, principi e regole del diritto della crisi d'impresa, La Tribuna - Il Foro italiano, 2023, from Chapter I to Chapter XXIV included.

An updated Code of Business Crisis and Insolvency is also required as a study aid (d.lgs. n. 14/2019 as amended ).
Assessment methods and Criteria
The final evaluation forms the object of an oral exam and is expressed in thirtieths, possibly cum laude.
Evaluation criteria take into consideration content accuracy, clarity of reasoning, critical analysis and rethinking skills.
