The Society also encourages contributors to examine both established legal principles and emerging questions within India’s developing insolvency ecosystem.
Call for Blog Submissions
Through this NUJS SIBRL Call for Blogs, the Society invites original submissions dealing with contemporary issues in insolvency, bankruptcy and restructuring law.
The call comes as the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 completes ten years since its enactment. During this period, amendments, regulatory changes, judicial decisions and developments in practice have shaped India’s insolvency framework.
However, contributors do not need to limit their submissions to the ten-year journey of the IBC. They can write about any contemporary issue concerning the IBC or the wider insolvency and restructuring framework.
SIBRL particularly welcomes articles that examine recent developments, critically assess the existing framework or suggest possible ways forward for Indian insolvency law.
Possible Areas for Submission
Contributors can explore a wide range of topics related to insolvency, bankruptcy and restructuring. Some suggested areas include:
- Recent judicial, legislative and regulatory developments under the IBC.
- Emerging or unsettled questions in insolvency jurisprudence.
- The evolution of the IBC during its first decade.
- Lessons from the implementation of the IBC.
- Challenges in the corporate insolvency resolution process and liquidation.
- The effectiveness of the IBC in achieving its objectives.
- Cross-border insolvency and restructuring.
- Sector-specific issues in insolvency resolution.
- The roles and responsibilities of creditors, resolution applicants, promoters and insolvency professionals.
- Insolvency financing, distressed assets and restructuring.
- The relationship between insolvency law and corporate or commercial law.
- Comparative and international developments that have relevance for India.
- Potential reforms and the future direction of India’s insolvency framework.
These topics are only indicative. Contributors can also submit articles on other significant and contemporary issues involving the IBC, insolvency, bankruptcy or restructuring.
SIBRL encourages writers to go beyond simply describing the law. Strong submissions should offer original, critical and accessible analysis of current developments and legal debates.
