Executory contracts raise difficult substantive and procedural questions under insolvency law. This essay tries to point out two prominent phenomena of substantive law concerning the treatment of executory contracts. Ipso facto clauses and licensing agreements will serve as examples in order to find suitable conflict‐of‐law rules in cross‐border insolvencies. So far, there has been no fundamental debate on the application of the lex fori concursus to executory contracts. In recent rulings national courts have, however, refused to apply the lex fori concursus to executory contracts in cross‐border insolvency cases when ipso facto clauses or licensing agreements were involved. This essay pleads against the sole application of the lex fori concursus and critically analyses the concept of the European Insolvency Regulation concerning executory contracts.

跨境破产中的执行合同，益普索事实条款和许可协议

执行合同根据破产法提出了棘手的实质性和程序性问题。本文力图指出关于执行合同处理的两种实体法突出现象。益普索事实条款和许可协议将作为示例，以便在跨国界破产中找到合适的法律冲突规则。迄今为止，关于将法律同意适用于执行合同还没有根本性的争论。在最近的裁决国家法院，然而，拒绝了申请法院地法，以履行合同的跨境破产案件时，在事实上条款参与或授权协议。本文反对仅适用于lex fori同意并批判性地分析了有关执行合同的《欧洲破产条例》的概念。版权所有©2018 INSOL International和John Wiley＆Sons，Ltd.
