With this law, the legislator wants to ban hidden stakebuilding or creeping-in of bidders prior to a public takeover. Copyright © 2011 Kluwer Law International

infoGerco C. van Eck, Erwin R. Roelofs, 'Ranking the Rules Applicable to Cross-Border Mergers' (2011) 8 European Company Law, Issue 1, pp. 17–22 | | Since the implementation of the Tenth directive on cross-border mergers (CBMs) in the national laws of the Member States of the European Union, a clear statutory framework for cross-border legal mergers of limited liability companies exists which underlies the laws of different Member States of the EU. However, when implementing a cross-border legal merger, specific problems may arise in legal practice due to the principle of the cumulative application of the national merger laws and procedures governing the parties to the CBM.

infoBob Wessels, 'Harmonization of Insolvency Law in Europe' (2011) 8 European Company Law, Issue 1, pp. 27–31 | | In April 2010, at the request of the European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs, a report was presented on the harmonization of Insolvency Law at the EU level. In the report disparities between several national insolvency laws are described. The report displays of a number of areas of insolvency law where harmonization at EU level could be worthwhile. However, as the H-word (harmonization) has been avoided the last decade, the question arises whether such harmonization is feasable in any form. Copyright © 2011 Kluwer Law International

Such legislation could, however, be legally wrongful towards financial institutions that currently receive state aid. One argument for this is that the State promised not to initiate any new legislation that would fall within the scope of the Banking Code that was adopted in the Netherlands.

The preventive intervention as envisaged may entail the DNB-forced transfer of shares to a third party, or even right down expropriation by the state initiated by the Minister of Finance.

infoRein Philips, 'The Inter Access Case Revisited: Corporate Interest = Public Interest?'

Chances are that the Inter Access case will be brought before the European Court for Human Rights inter alia on the ground that the Dutch State has violated article 1 of the First Protocol to European Convention on Human Rights. One issue would be whether, in the Inter Access case, there was any public interest that could justify an expropriation by the State at all. Copyright © 2011 Kluwer Law International

In the Netherlands dvelopments are ongoing in the field of legislation and case law, with the concept of 'serious blame' playing a central role, particularly with regard to its impact as a standard for the various types of directors' liability.
