Executory Contracts, <i>Ipso Facto</i> Clauses and Licensing Agreements in Cross‐Border Insolvencies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract 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.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
