About SCCL:s publications
Researchers affiliated with SCCL publish their research results in a large number of articles and research reports. The ambition is that as much as possible of what is published by these researchers and by speakers at seminars and conferences organised by SCCL will also be available in open access at SCCL (https://publications.sccl.se). However, depending on circumstances and agreements with publishers, this may not take place until some time after the original publication.
With the consent of authors and other holders of rights, we have initially digitalised and made available most of what has been published in the books published by SCCL since 2008. This initially comprises 256 articles written by researchers affiliated with SCCL. Gradually the number of digitally available articles will increase.
The search function in the menu above makes it possible to search for articles both in free text and by author or by the book in which the article was originally published. On the page “Authors” there is a list of all the authors of the articles that have been digitalised and on the page “Books” there is a list of the books that have been digitalised.
In addition to digitalisation and making research results available on the website, SCCL will continue to publish books in SCCL’s publication series. This includes the SCCL Yearbook, anthologies with contributions to specific conferences and separate publications. Together with the publication series, SCCL also publishes festschrifts related to persons active at SCCL.
SCCL has an extensive library on its own premises, which was started through a donation from the late Professor Jan Hellner and through the takeover of the Library of the Institute for Company and Securities Law. The library has since been expanded through various extensive donations.
Since 2024, the Axel Ax:son Johnson Institute for Maritime and Other Transport Law is included as a research panel at SCCL https://sccl.se/forskningsavdelningar/. The Institute for Maritime Law has an extensive physical library located on SCCL’s premises, as well as a digital library available on its website https://www.sjorattsbiblioteket.se/om-institutet.
Current Issue
The Report addresses priorities of stakeholders in the new Nordic restructuring laws, after implementation of the Restructuring Directive (EU) 2019/1023. It provides an in-depth pan-Nordic comparison, essentially from the perspective of debt capital markets. The rules relating to priorities of stakeholders in restructuring do not only differ on an international level, but also among the Nordic countries.
The Report covers statutory priorities in an international context. It compares the US and the UK statutory laws and their notable variation, and thereafter it discusses the roadmap to harmonisation of key features of restructuring law on the EU level. Further, we discuss why some form of relativity may be important in relation to rules on priority in a restructuring context. Noting the academic discussion in the US and in Europe and recent case law developments from the UK, the report recognizes a tendency away from a strict absolute priority towards a certain degree of flexibility. We continue with an outline of the development of the current restructuring laws in Sweden, Denmark and Finland, including a comparison of key rules. The Report concludes with a summary of the topics covered and a discussion de lege ferenda (of future legal developments), outlining further possible options for developing the Nordic laws - or at least for understanding the consequences of retaining current forms of regulation.
The legal structures presented in the Report correlate both with corporate and insolvency law. Hence, benchmarks for the legislative options are introduced both from the corporate and insolvency law points of view. In addition to a required attention from the view of these two legal disciplines, one needs to address the expertise of and the architecture for the tribunal bench systems involved in the process.
