Summary:

This book examines the intersection of environmental liability and insolvency law, focusing on the principle that polluters should bear responsibility for environmental damage even in cases of bankruptcy. Drawing on legal frameworks and case studies from Sweden, the Netherlands, the United States, and other jurisdictions, the authors explore key issues such as the ranking of environmental claims, successor liability, and the discharge of environmental liabilities during restructuring. It also provides insights into the role of EU environmental policies, the Environmental Liability Directive, and the Swedish Environmental Act in addressing these challenges. Intended for legal scholars, policymakers, and professionals, the book offers comparative perspectives and solutions to balance creditors' interests with environmental protection. Generated by AI.
