Discusses how English courts may give effect to the UNCITRAL Model Law on Cross Border Insolvency 1997 with reference to the decisions in Warner v Verfides, Harms Offshore AHT Taurus GmbH & Co KG v Bloom and Rubin v Eurofinance SA. Concludes that although these judgments confirm the general willingness of the courts to help in cross-border insolvency matters, assistance is not guaranteed, and each case will continue to be assessed on its merits.
