In this volume, our experts in Singapore provide an overview of the Omnibus Act as well as an assessment of transparency in the court system, and note the judicial cooperation in cross-border insolvency matters between the courts of Singapore and the US.

The Review examines the current status of mutual assistance and recognition of insolvency trustees between Hong Kong and the PRC, given the volume and interconnected trade and their economies’ impact on the world.
