The purpose of the Module is the in-depth analysis and examination of the institution of bankruptcy as a reason for the dissolution of the legal entity and the cessation of the commercial capacity, as well as a procedure for the liquidation of the bankruptcy estate and the satisfaction of the bankruptcy creditors. The possibility of rescuing and reorganising the company as a whole via the conciliation procedure, on the basis of a reorganisation plan, is also examined.  The new Bankruptcy Code is also studied. Moreover, the presentation of the new institution of individual bankruptcy in Greek law, as the law of civil insolvency ("over-indebted natural persons and households") takes place, which complements the current bankruptcy law.  In addition to the requisite theoretical approach, case studies and practical issues are solved and analysed, along with the study and commentary of court decisions of the Cypriot case law.
