Learning objectives

The course is included in the learning area on Risk Management. It aims to address, from both a substantive and procedural point of view, the regulation of business crisis and insolvency as reformed by the Business crisis and insolvency Code (Legislative Decree No. 14 of 12 January 2019), which replaces the Bankruptcy Law (R.D. No. 267 of 16 March 1942) and the Law on over-indebtedness (Law No. 3 of 27 January 2012).
In particular, the course will address the issues related to procedures of alert, assisted composition and crisis regulation, composition procedures, arrangement with creditors, judicial liquidation, and debt relief, both from the perspective of individual companies, and groups.
At the end of the course, the student will acquire the ability to formulate, autonomously and critically, complex opinions and argumentations on the main topics of the course.
Students will also acquire the ability to face and solve practical problems typical of the professional context in which they will operate, thus orienting their competence to the goal of contractual compliance and to the prevention of the judicial conflicts. Students will also be able to verify the practical and applicative consequences of the theoretical and regulatory framework and to set, in written and oral form (and also through group work, written exercises and the method of Problem Based Solving - PBS), the solution to concrete issues, using the appropriate and specific disciplinary vocabulary, adopting the correct lines of reasoning and argumentation, and formulating autonomous judgments. The teaching method used is functional to the continuous learning and updating of acquired knowledge.
