The success of the insolvency proceeding for the insolvency creditor and the attainment of the insolvency goals are decisively dependent on the aptitude and ability of the insolvency administrator. The insolvency court's supervision of the insolvency administrator is therefore of essential importance to the success of the insolvency procedure. This work aims to encourage legal debate regarding the supervisory role of the insolvency courts and also the everyday management of the insolvency courts.

The ESUG (Law for the Further Facilitation of the Restructuring of Enterprises) has induced a profound change in insolvency law. The rulings of the German Supreme Court (BGH)have had a profound impact onthe dogmatic content of the German Insolvency Act. The book goes on to explain court interpretations (mostly by the Supreme Court) of the provisions of the German Insolvency Law that is still in force.
