Abstract
A new consolidated insolvency law called the “Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Law” (“DRBL”), which became effective in the Republic of Korea on April 1, 2006, has discarded the principle of territoriality under the previous insolvency laws and adopted the so-called modified principle of universality. At least for the purpose of Korean laws and Korean insolvency proceedings, therefore, the effect of an insolvency proceeding which has commenced in Korea would have effect on the debtor’s assets situated in a foreign country. However, whether and to what extent a Korean insolvency proceeding would be recognized and enforced in a foreign country, in which the debtor’s assets are situated, depends upon the laws of that foreign country.
